    Did not expect such a rubbish movie...

    Did not expect such a rubbish movie starring great actors like Boman Irani and Arshad Warsi. Awful performances, direction, story is what this movie is composed of. Never heard such a bad accent of a bihari by any lead actor.

    I stopped the movie in the middle to check the imdb comments and read that second half was better so I watched the whe movie. Idk why you dumbasses are rating this movie more than 3.

    1 extra star for few funny punches here and there. Thats it.

    The movie is not that legend

    The legend of Michael Mishra is a romantic comedy movie starring Arshad Warsi, Aditi Rao Hydari, Bowman Irani and Kayoze Irani and is directed by Manish Jha.

    My initial query was why the movie is being made in Patna whereas the movie could've been made in Mumbai as none of the leads barring Aditi Rao Hydari (to some extent) cannot imitate the pure bihari dialect.

    The plot of the movie is good and a good movie could've been made but failed due to bad execution. The film lacks humour and looks monotonous despite of having fantastic cast of Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani. Junior Irani did some hard work but he tried to look funny because he is fat. The support staff looks uninterested. Aditi had done some hard work and it shows in the movie.

    The songs are forgettable and irritates. Screenplay and direction is bad and after just half n hours you will realise that you are watching a movie whose plot ( neither acting nor comedy) is borrowed from Munna bhai MBBS.

    Action is also cliche. There is a little twist in the climax but till the movie reaches it's climax viewers are already exhausted.

    Overall the movie is a shambolic mess of repeated plot with listless romance and comedy.

    Loved the movie, overall good to watch

    As earlier comments said, there are loose gaps in the middle, but once the climax comes, all gaps would be connected perfectly. Then you will say WoW and feel logical for the script.

    Don't know why critics and reviewers hate Arshad Warsi

    OK, the movie is not that great. But then, which Bollywood comic caper is? The Legend of Micheal Mishra has a few good laughs, and a good story, and a stand up performance from Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani, and genuinely ties up all the loose ends by the climax. Catch it in home video if you can. You will not regret it.

    Shame and spits on the mouth of producer+ director+ actors

    Shame and spit on the mouth of that person who thought of making this movie. This movie is entirely based on the jealousy felt against the talent of people of Bihar who are truly most talented people in all over the country. This movie shows the ill mindedness of the people are in no birth can compete with a Biharo. They're Gems indeed!! Wish I could also be a Bihari..
