Kangana Ranaut Is Absolute Perfection In This Not-To-Be-Missed Gem

The supporting actors, spearheaded by Richa Chadha in an extended cameo that livens up Panga a few notches, are first-rate. Both Megha Burman and Smita Tambe, embodying two ends of the film's kabaddi spectrum, deserve special mention for their sterling show on and off the court, while the seasoned Neena Gupta, somewhat underserved by the screenplay, loses no opportunity to make her presence felt. Sensitive and riveting at once, Panga is a not-to-be-missed gem.(more)

Kangana Ranaut touches your heart in this emotional roller-coaster

The only thing that somewhere doesn't go down well with Panga is its pace. There are some scenes that look a bit stretched, and while you know wha's going to happen next, the wait only seems longer. Other than that, this wholesome family film is a must watch for the way it is told, for being real and for the emotional chord it strikes with you from the very beginning.(more)

All one can say is that the characters in the film, the writing and filmmaking itself are all about taking panga with the defined and the established norms. The kind of panga that deserves more power.(more)

A 'panga' worth taking

I will take this, if it comes with a film that celebrates a woman trying to reclaim her dream, even if it comes sanctioned by family. The film springs to life when Jaya raises her fist, and slaps her thigh: a 'panga' worth taking.(more)
