    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! 🤗🙏

    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.

    Super - Danish is the Borat of Indian cinema

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

    Very refreshing for Kannada Cinema..Very entertaining Film!

    To attempt a political satire first of all is like taking a big risk in Kannada cinema! To top that to choose it as your debut film takes a lot of guts, conviction and faith in your ability - for these reasons alone hats off to Actor Danish Sait and Director Saad Khan. This movie is entertainment from start to finish and with a strong message!

    Saad as a director has shown great promise in the way he has handled the actors - Danish can sometimes come across as caricaturish, to ensure his acting just doesn't feel like a series of gags but as an overall performance, credit to the director for pulling it off.

    The story keeps you engaged and there are a plenty of laugh out loud moments to keep you entertained! The writing is good, screenplay is tight and the film breathes a bit making it a tad bit longer for a few people - but in my opinion, this was needed to ensure that audience gets the feel of the other characters in the movie as well.

    The film also excels in other departments such as Music, Production design and really brings you into the world of Nograj and his shenanigans! Highly recommended watch!
