Mohalla Assi

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.

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.

This is a fantastic adaptation of Dr. Kashinath Singh's satire "Kashi Ka Assi". Well directed. The performance by each and every actor is very relatable to anyone who is familiar with the tradition Brahmin sections of India. One quote got stuck in my mind - "in past we used to have Bazaar's in our communities, now the each community is struggling to to breathe in the global Bazaar(Marketplace)". This one quote reflects the struggle each Indian is facing in preserving our traditions and fulfilling our aspirations. India is no more a country where its tradition and rituals get patronage of the rich, unless it becomes commercial. This has become a land where a learned priest who follows all the tenets of his religion is poor while a half baked guru peddling nonsense is rich with money and millions of followers.

Sunny Deol, the action hero as we know him, has delivered a perfectly controlled and superb performance. The supporting cast of Sakshi Tanwar, Ravi Kishan and the rest are equally good.

This is a must see, and is sad to see not one review for this movie on IMDb, while the mindless action films like Dabbang get hundreds. This is exactly what this movie is about - the modern Indian does not care about his society, its traditions and culture.

Wish to see more movies like this one.

Excellent movie , must watch for the people, shows the real phase of Kassi and Varanasi

It's a film which shows you reality about our religion , politics & society . Picturisation of kashi looks real .Background score is good . all characters are given ample space & they prove themselves.. sunny deol portrays very confidently role of Panda & In last emotinals scenes are MindBlowing.. Sakshi played a housewife role convincingly just go for it then decide
