Critics Review
2.50
The film chronicles Narendra Damodardas Modi's life and events leading up to his swearing-in ceremony as the Prime Minister of India in 2014.
Whether you believe or don't believe in the political philosophy of Narendra Modi is secondary, as a film, this one is too lopsided for you to appreciate. It leaves a lot unanswered. While it firmly believes 'Modi ek insaan nahi, soch hai', we wish the script was as thoughtful.(more)

Vivek Oberoi film deifies the PM
This is a monumental ode to hubris. The film, PM Narendra Modi, is an embarrassment, and even if every scene were true, the smugness is cringeworthy. The Constitution of India does not begin with the words 'I, the person of India�'. At least not yet.(more)

An unabashed hagiography
As a bio-pic, PM Narendra Modi inhabits muddled, post-truth territory. As a hagiography though, genuflecting at the altar of the man, it's perfect. It's uncritical, unquestioning, high on rhetoric. And there'' nothing accidental about it.(more)
