Featured reviews
Mukkabaaz is full entertainment package of performance, direction, music, dialogue and message for society. Hats off to Anurag Kashyap (director) (undefined) for sport drama with social issue. Script include Caste discrimination, Beef issue, Bharat Mata ki jai Issue, Struggle in the area of sport, Passion and Love. Dialogues were witty and full of punches e.g. Inki Bidi ka tambakoo khatm ho gaya hain(His cigaretts without Tabocco) and Hum UP ke Mike Tyson hain (I am Mike Tyson of UP).
Vineet Kumar Singh mesmerized audience with spell-bounding performance. Debut-ant Zoya Hussain (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zoya_Hussain&action=edit&redlink=1) brilliantly act through expressions. Jimmy Sheirgill another big pillar of this cinema who showcase evilness. Ravi Kishan and Shree Dhar Dubey (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shree_Dhar_Dubey&action=edit&redlink=1) have delivered strong supporting performance. Nawazuddin Siddiqui (Bollywood Film Actor) (undefined) 's guest appearance was catchy.
Music was raw and really impressive as Rachita Arora's first music direction in the Bollywood. "Mushkil Hai Apna Meil Priye", "Paintra" and "Bahut Hua Samman" were unique and great one songs.
This is the kind of movies that Bollywood needs to make and not the bull shit like 'Tiger Zinda hain' (which I didn't watch after seeing the trailer). Great movie. Good story, acting and direction.
It's a masterpiece in every sense. Brilliant story line with well scripted scenes. All the actors have done justice with their characters. The movie is around 2 and a half hour but it seemed much less and throughout the movie you don't loose concentration as all the scene are very well directed.
Anurag kashyap did it again and started this new year with blast with all round performance in terms of Direction, acting , screenplay but real surprise was music and dialog
Songs was too different and according to situation along with the background score. what Anurag kashyap tried to do give time audience to connect with character and as story progress character grows and you can see different shades of them and you can actually feel their pain, helplessness , anger and their happiness
vineet singh is reallly deserve huge round og appluse for giving outstanding performance not only for acting also for co-screenply writing. Zoya Hussain and vineet singh onscreen chemistry really good and you can actully feel their love on screen
As usual Jimmy shergill and Ravi kishan provided the strenght need for the flim with their acting. overall this movie is really good and all credit goes to anurag kashyap making such a solid movie..

Vineet Kumar Singh. This name is going to stay forever with you after you done watching Mukkabaaz.
With small screen time roles in Anurag Kashyap's Wasseypur Series,Ugly and short film Murabba(part of Bombay Talkies) and Mahesh Manjrekar's Lalbaug Parel, he is not new to the cinema world.
But for the first time he gets to play the lead and he does it with an impeccable performance and what we call Method Acting. With almost 3 years of training , we can see it easily in the movie that he has not only performed but lived it. Very well supported by Jimmy Shergill and Ravi Kishen.Zoya as Vineet's love life does full justice to the role in her debut.
Coming to the direction part , we don't have the chance to find any flaws as the pace even little slow is kept very interesting and moving with a mixture of both commercial and art feel.Editing needs a special mention here.
All in all its a well made movie.

- TriviaKashyap sent his second unit director Saqib Pandor), to record boxing tournaments on camera and the state tournament shown in the film is recreation of actual tournaments they had recorded on camera. They witnessed a boxing tournament happening under the tent and without an audience because their own space was occupied by something else and other boxers who sit and watch them. He also realized that after attending an actual boxing tournament in north India that there was no audience apart from people in power who decide which boxer should represent the state, and who will not. Kashyap then told Singh to train himself and he started training in Mumbai. Kashyap told him not to do the "filmi training" but to become a hardcore boxer. There are no boxing choreographers, action directors in the film. Singh was trained for a year to play the boxer's role by a coach, Anudeep Singh, who was coaching people for free and runs a garage for money. He told Kashyap that he wanted to be a boxer but he could not play. These stories were also used for the research of the film. Singh did not disclose that he was preparing for a role in film to his coach
