Hisaab Barabar

Wached it for Madhvan, but what an absolute waste. Childish style of story telling. Madhavan's honesty is the only saving grace.

The movie stops being entertaining beyond the first half an hour till they are establishing Madhavan character and the plot unveils. The masala movie treatment of realistic plot with honest intentions of actors is absolutely cringe worthy. All the other characters beyond Madhavan are mere caricatures, specially Neil Nitin Mukesh was looking like a joker right through. Songs are just for effect too.

I only wish Madhavan and the cast were used for a more honest effort of story telling.

For Madhavan, I will rather watch The Railway Man once again.

Some stories are written films made to recharge fading hopes of the few who uphold values niti nyay justice GreaterGood. Dead men walking may suddenly awaken join hands for shreyas overwhelming the natural self preserving preyas. Most are part of the system of injustice corruption themselves .They might join in anonymously momentarily before sinking back to quagmire of greeds and needs .Jag Utha Insaan type idealistic utopian dream we all love to watch. Nation runs because very few do live like the protagonist Ticket Collector played by Madhavan. Add another such honest face in pretty sub inspector lady travellings by train played by Kriti Kullari. Drop by drop even tank can leak away its precious water so does money .The system Truth fights against is our inactivity against the evil even anonymously. Imagine if Most of us pick up phone dial100 or support hold hand against the so called powerful for a cause? To expose smallest wrong doing ,raise a finger or more ? See how i forgot to write about film making but floated up in hope after watching the movie ? Who cares about the technical imperfections or critics awards here story telling sparks a hope against endemic corruption by one of our own.

This is about a person who is a TC in Indian Railways by destiny but a actually wanted to be a CA. By the way this man Radhe Mohan is an expert in his calculations. His mistake was that he tried to fight for justice for "Aam janta" the common man and these common man has no time or interest to fight for them. But Radhe was determined to fight for the common people as he believed that some scam was going on in the bank and the bank is stealing common man's hard earned money. So,he decides to file a complain against the bank. This is what we see in the teaser but what happens after that and how he manages to reveal the truth. Whether he wins or his attempt goes in vain,for that you have to watch this movie .Madhavan as usual did an excellent job,the supporting actors too tried to match with him. An eye opener movie which every citizen must watch.

A very beautiful and amazing concept lost in poor screenplay and story telling.

Execution, music, direction, editing and almost everything in the movie was supremely low standard. I watched it only because of R. Madhvan sir, he was terrific as always. But there was little to no requirement of a female lead, and their love angle was also unnecessary. The kid was also a miscasting, he did not act well nor he fitted in the screenplay well.

Negative roles: Manu rishi was amazing as always, but Neil was simply over acting, owner/chairman of a huge bank dancing on road, arguing with a comman man on the streets was just over the board.

All in all, a very satirical concept lost due to bad story writing, screenplay and bad direction.

Watch it once for the concept and acting of Madhvan Sir.

R. Madhavan's Hisaab Barabar falls short of expectations, delivering a story that feels overly simplistic despite an interesting premise. While the topic had potential, the execution lacked depth, with no intense drama or gripping moments to keep viewers hooked. The film suffers from a flat narrative and minimal emotional impact, making it feel more like a casual watch than a memorable experience. R. Madhavan sir, known for his exceptional performances in films like 3 Idiots, Rocketry, Saala Khadoos, and the web series like Breathe, couldn't elevate the lackluster storytelling in Hisaab Barabar. It's a one-time watch at best, deserving a 4/10 for effort but leaving much to be desired in terms of engagement and impact.
