Movie Review
Prawaal Raman does a commendable job of recreating the 60s-70s. He also gets his protagonist's physicality and smugness bang on. Working on a wafer-thin account given to him by the real-life Delhi cop, Amod Kanth, Raman still manages to infuse life (at least partly) into this film and into the life of the notorious killer.(more)

Shoddy direction fails Randeep Hooda, Richa Chadha's performances
Prawaal Raman's direction is like the stitching of a tailor who has amazing fabric but isn't quite sure what dress he wants to make. We get to see different shades of Charles, but there is very little what we are told about his psyche or what goes in that brain.(more)

Main Aur Charles is a cool, compelling, winner
Randeep Hooda, in the performance of his career, plays Charles with immense flair, hoovering up women and stunning men with his French-ish accent and overwhelming self-belief. (more)

Let this slithery serpent slip by
Main Aur Charles offers little to the audience: Neither do you get any insight into Shobhraj�s criminal mind, nor do you get to know the motive behind the psychopath�s schemes. While promoting the film, director Raman insisted that it is not Shobhraj�s biopic but is about the infamous Tihar jailbreak incident and based on the case files of police officer Amod Kanth.(more)

Movie Review
Films dealing with crime, sex, drugs and con need to be full on flavor and theatrics and Raman�s Main Aur Charles gets that. The presentation of the late 80s when it comes to fashion is bang on so full marks for Raman on the visual aspects. Another impressive thing about the direction is the choice of lighting for scenes.(more)
