    Great movie

    Looks like Cambridge analytica of Congress has activated it's bots. Many are responding here with 1 star and same ctrl+c ctrl+v description. It's not a masala entertainer, go and watch if you want to know the workings of PMO and how anm dynasty controls power irrespective of who rules the nation. Acting of Akshay Khanna and Anupam Kher is class apart.

    Disappointed with direction.

    First part seemed more like comedy but still it was quite good to tell about politics in India. Second half told about character of our former PM. Overall ,I felt sad for former PM after watching this movie and kind of felt story was incomplete.

    Mediocre, OK for a one-time watch.

    My Rating : 4/10

    Too slow and gets very boring and annoying.

    Good for a one-time viewing.

    Akshaye Khanna is his usual well-groomed and entertaining self and Anupam Kher is funny as hell as Manmohan Singh.

    Wow ! Awesome

    Never knew someone could make such a movie with so much details. Even though it's not tarnishing anyone image, but it's such a bad phase India has gone through. Must watch for everyone in India.hats off to Anupam Kher, no one can replace him.
