    Yes..one man is enough!

    Sometimes, you overlook minor flaws while focusing on the bigger picture. "Sirf Ek Banda Kaafi Hey" is one of those movies that will show you what courage can do and how a common lawyer can shake the mighty, so-called God figure. A few of the dialogues may seem cliché; however, if you look at the final product, you can see the honesty and intent with which the movie was made. The story revolves around a minor rape victim fighting against a mighty Baba with thousands of followers. "Sirf Ek Banda" tries to shed light on the problems of our society and the issues related to blind-eyed devotion. Personally, I would have loved it if the story had focused more on the girl's narrative rather than turning it into a total courtroom drama. Nevertheless, the movie is good overall. It will shake you to the core and demonstrate why the POCSO Act is a good legal framework as well.

    EXPECTATION TURNED DOWN

    Expectations turned down !

    Success sometimes takes a toll of your perception and you plunge into something to eventually disappoint your audience. Sirf Ek Banda Kafi Hai was a bad choice for Manoj Bajpayee. Storyline, direction, editing, cinematography all combined to substandard the actor's craftsmanship. The movie lacks finesse, fails to maintain continuity in flow with absurd editing, dragging scenes, unimpressive cinematography.... disgruntling viewers. The delivery of dialogues lack conviction. A below average movie. Regret investing time in it. Utterly frustrated with the makers who cast a good artist to attract audience but shatter the latter's hope with such below average creation. The level of quality of the film is unsatisfactory. The movie fails to leave an impact on the viewers, rather tries the latter's patience to the finish.

    I regret opting this movie. In a nutshell, the movie robbs the audience of their expectations, time and money. At this point of stardom my earnest advice to Manoj as a fan - pls... Look before you leap !

    Ignore the cowardice justified reviews from the makers

    First of all makers of this film lied that this film had a world premiere at the prestigious New York Film Festival at the Lincoln Center, check Wion news if I'm giving wrong information. The film had actual premiere at the C grade New York Indian Film Festival. Chalo vo bhi thik hai, now let's come to the film. Which case you're trying to show in the film? Why can't you name it? Because you wanted to tamper with facts and present suitable account of the case that you have no guts to name, otherwise you know so well you will be sued in court. By the another side. What a waste, feel sorry for Manoj.

    Absolute Disappointment

    Manoj Bajpayee who has done sensitive movies like Aligarh has done such a bad job here. This movie falls flat on face of viewers and leaves them with complete disappointment. The expectation have been to see a masterpiece but on the contrary we see week storyline with poor acting & direction.

    There were lot of hopes but all in vain. The story line was weak and was not all captivating. We were expecting strong story line but it was not what was served. There should have been more meat on the story to hold viewers. We were disjointed and lot interest as it started. Making us feel borer and monotonous.

    Just Mindblowing

    Fantastic Acting and amazing script. This movie is a must watch. He facts presented were just out of the box. People should actually watch this movie. It also showcases how traumatizing it is for a minor to face all these things and how evidences are lost in high profile cases.

    Manoj sir is undoubtably a brilliant actor and the way he has acted in the entire movie is just praise worthy. Not only him ,everyone has done a brilliant job .

    The movie justifies its title "sirf ek banda kafi hai" . It actually showcases haan ek hi banda kaafi hai galat ko saja dilwane ke liye,sirf ek banda kaafi hai honsla dene ke liye.
