😂I watched it yesterday (10/08/17- A day before Indian release date, here in Oman), without reading any comments or previews. As expected, Akshay Kumar at his best after Airlift. He really took a daring decision to work in such Satire based on the issue which we prefer not to discuss in public in-spite of knowing the truth, what's right and what's wrong. I am sure he is not behind the revenue to be generated by this film. Perfect casting of each character. Based on a true story, this film is full of entertainment with a good message. Good decision by UP govt to declare it tax-free before its release and hope some other states should also do the same in near future. Hope the message reaches the places for which this film is really meant for. Length could have been reduced but still it's a film not to be missed. 😂😂
The movie's story has been well thought of ; the plight of villagers specially women who have to defacate in open has been portrayed in a realistic manner. The problem of not having toilets at home isn't an ordinary one. A major reason for rising number of rapes in rural areas is that women have to go out in the open fields and defacate. The toilet scams, lack of awareness and the unwillingness of people in villages to change their old notions are a real problem. The movie has some songs and romantic scenes which unnecessarily increase its time duration, the jokes aren't funny enough to make you laugh but Akshay Kumar definitely holds your interest throughout. The second half is more informative and happening. In short, you may go and watch this movie with your family or friends over the weekend.
This was a big drawback of the movie. Not all of us are experts on the status of sanitation and toilets in Rural places.
The movie(especially the attitude of the father) didn't make much sense to me because of all of the time I assumed that there is a sewer line obviously, at the place shown in the film. I had no idea how the toilets are constructed in rural areas where there are no sewer lines. If this was somehow(may be subtly or indirectly), communicated to the viewers, many of us would have enjoyed the whole movie a lot more and it would also have been much more meaningful to us!

Akshay Kumar again proved his choice of scripts and Also proved his acting skills once again, No doubt he is most versatile actor in his generation. He is simply outstanding. Movie is outstanding because of ultimate script, awesome acting performance and no doubt Modi's swaksh bharat abhiyan. Praising swakcha bharart abhiyan in entertaining manner is not a crime. Please go and watch this movie for suddha entertainment.
Definitely worth a watch in theater.a very enjoyable movie.yes it is slow paced in second half and first half is better.a film with its heart in the right place.you will not regret.late make this movie successful so that the message in it can spread.overall a good Akshay Kumar movie.
