This movie deserves a chance. I hope it finds audience. Great acting....
This type of movie do 200 or 300 crores of business. These movies make contribute to movie industry as meaningful cinema. But people these days like 'Varun shawn, Salman khan, shahrukh khan'. Movie are reflections of current society. But very sad, some very good movie like this one, don't do good on box office and after that 'Producer-directors ' not willing to make this type of movies anymore. We all should appreciate this type of movies and bring them into the hit list, if we want to watch more movies like this. I believe my comments said all about this movie. Super good meaningful cinema.
Quite a good movie. Don't believe critics who were not able to understand the work here. Movie shows the changing scenario of a locality during a time period. Dr. Dwivedi is a brilliant director and he proves it yet again.
We talk about culture and our heritages, we talk about our great past but when it comes to movies like these which show us the mirror, what we have become and where we are leading, we start looking on the other side. This film shows how India has changed in just a decade or two. And it all happened so fast that we just could not find a balance.
Mohalla Assi might not be a technically great film, it might not have best of the actors or direction but it conveys what it intends to. It raises few very pertinent questions about social structure, culture, greed, religious sentiments and most importantly about human behavior.
Watch it. Offer it your time. Taste this part of India. You will not be disappointed

When the trailer came out I was pretty disappointed and expected it to be another PK, a forced comedy at cost of ridiculing one religion. I still watched the movie for Chandraprakash Dwiwedi since I consider him to be a non commercial director who gave us Chanakya and he did not disappoint.
The movie turned out to be entirely refreshing experience.
Sunny Deol lives with his wife on a hand to mouth existence in Benaras because he does not want to compromise on his values.
He sees people giving in to their aspirations and leading a better life and one day is compelled to take the same route when he decides to move with times.
But you cant suppress your inner soul and one day he returns to his original faith and finds peace.
Don't want to give out details of story since its not yet released but would surely call this Sunny Deol's best performance till date.
There is nothing in the movie that mocks any religion and the scene where lord Shiva abuses Sunny Deol is in a different context altogether and very very relevant, in fact one of the finest scene of the movie.
Hope it releases one day and when it does, don't miss it.
