Madam Chief Minister

I understand the hatred and 1 stars. Its due the lack of depth and weak script. However it definitely entertaining and one time watch.

I feel Subhash Kapoor is over rated, he has done only couple of great work (LLB...). So dont keep hopes, dont apply logic, dont expect there is sense in this scene... example, in this movie becoming a CM, talking to CM, playing with ministers/MLAs. Are like piece of cake, just watch as entertainment, give it try, its worth it.

The ones giving low rating are mostly paid trolls. Watch it!

Madam Chief Minister review :

After releasing to a tepid response early this year, Madam Chief Minister premiered online on Netflix this week and is presently its top trending film. To be frank, I watched it with zero expectation but the movie pleasantly sprung a surprise and turned out to be a watchable fare.

Supposedly an unofficial biopic of Ex Uttar Pradesh CM Mayawati though the film refrains from saying so, the film chronicles the meteoric rise of a Dalit commoner named Tara (Richa Chadda) who inadvertently gets in to politics and rises the ranks to become the first chief minister of the most populous state of India. How she tackles her opposition from other party as well as her own forms the crux of the just over two hours drama.

To be fair, Subhash Kapoor's story is much better than his execution and the film could've been far better if the director had avoided showing the usual caste clichès and brahmin bias. The technical aspects are also of low standard. Undoubtedly, Madam Chief Minister had solid potential on paper which hasn't fully translated on the screen.

Of the cast, Saurabh Shukla is assuredly effective. Manav Kaul doesn't get much scope but still leaves a mark. Akshay Oberoi is okey dokey in a negative role. So are the other supporting members.

The real show stealer is Richa Chadda who pitches in a fantastic performance as Tara. Madam Chief Minister is one more feather in her cap and she truly elevates the otherwise average fare to a cut above the commonplace. Kudos Lady!!

Richa Chadha's impressive performance is let down by the mediocre script. The movie lacks impactful dialogues and compelling plot.

Direction 2.5/5 Acting 3/5 Dialogues 2.5/5 Story 2/5 Screenplay 2.5/5

Richa Chadha plays a Dalit poltician from Uttar Pradesh in Subhash Kapoor's latest releae Madam Chief Minister. Subhash Kapoor is known for his kind of cinema and I have loved almost all his directorial works so far but that can't be said regarding Madam Chief Minister.

The movie tries very hard to establish a social point and manages somewhat to do so but fails most of the time. Despite of the fact lead actors tried their best to lift the movie up but its weak writing and weak direction that let down the whole movie.

Richa Chadha Manav Kaul and Saurabh Shukla are extremely good in their parts. Richa Chadha has given a really committed performance but the biggest letdown was the script.
