    Good movie/message but not as great as the trailer

    Although I love the plot/story very much, I did expect a lot of entertainment from the movie. There was a fair bit of entertainment but the Borat-esque style/dialogues by Danish Sait got really repetitive. Some people didn't like the way the movie ended but for me personally it was the perfect ending because that's how the real world is right now. Nice guys only win in movies but in real life and more so in India, it's mostly the bad guy that take the cake.

    The movie has a very deep meaning and tries to convey the message that at the end of the day politics is a system which can be rigged and there are no real tangible moral filters to pick the right person and the citizen should be held responsible for voting for the wrong guy as much as the politicians themselves.

    Overall I thought the movie would be more entertaining than have a message but it turned out to be the other way round. A good one time watch nevertheless.

    You are going to laugh!!!

    Humble Politician Nograj is going to make you laugh.The movie is more hilarious than you would think. You will be surprised to see how creative some of those "stupid", funny and ridiculous scenes are.They picked just the right people for this comedy. You can expect dirty, funny, sexy, ridiculous! Not over the top , just laughs and a somewhat sentimental story. Director has clearly tried to send the people a message in between those laughs.

    Danish Sait : what a performer , since he started his career in 2009 , his prime motive was to make people laugh and he doesn't let you down this time too. His flawless execution of the character Nograj deserves an applaud. His voice modulation for the role is too good and he always has been a champion in this department. I felt the run time for the movie could have been 30 minutes shorter but nonetheless it is a great movies. Saad Khan and Danish Sait : make us laugh again with your future projects.

    Super - Danish is the Borat of Indian cinema

    Hilarious - Just watch it. Especially if you can relate to Bangalore

    Loved it!

    After my needle-in-a-haystack hunt over the past 3 months or so, I finally got hold of Humble Politician Nograj (Kannada), even lost some sleep over finding subtitles that matched the runtime.

    I really liked the trailer and went into the movie expecting a ton of humor, and there was a lot of humor, just not a ton of it...I guess? Or maybe there was, but it was very repetitive...?...dunno. It appears that several Kannada folks thought that it wasn't worth the hype. I don't know how hyped this movie was, so I guess it wasn't a let down for me. But not sure if it was worth losing some sleep over.

    This film totally reminded me of Borat in some ways. This guy, Danish Sait, and the folks who played Monjunath and Lavanya did a really good job. One could argue that you can watch the movie just for this trio, plus there's humor in it, never mind the story. I read some reviews, looks like some people didn't like how the movie ended, and I am not sure if i'd agree with that. Throughout the movie, you can tell that it shows how dirty politics is/can be, just that it does so with humor instead of intense music, action, backstabbing, etc. Lets say that this movie kinda sorta is trying to say what Pudhupettai said, but in a TOTALLY different way?

    If they were to make a sequel of this movie, I'd watch it. If you're looking for a fun (repetitive or not) time-pass movie, check it out.

    Quite the entertainer Monjunaath!

    A character/voice that was born by the sheer talent of the amazing Danish Sait. Nograj had been receiving a lot of love and support from everyone and to see him come on the big screen was a big treat. Coming to the movie, it's a politicial satire done well. A wannabe politician who jumps into the limelight just to get some recognition and fame. Brilliant work by the co-star Sumukhi Suresh. Well directed by Saad Khan. It does tickle the funny bone and it's an added advantage if you follow Kannada or have been familiar with the language (as some jokes are better in the local language). Overall, great effort by Danish, Saad, Maaz and the whole team of HPN. I've seen the amount of hard work that's gone into making this as well as the movie promotions that were done across Karnataka. Gaargeous yeffort guys! πŸ€—πŸ™
