    Raw... Powerfull Punch...Bangon..!!!

    Anurag kashyap did it again and started this new year with blast with all round performance in terms of Direction, acting , screenplay but real surprise was music and dialog

    Songs was too different and according to situation along with the background score. what Anurag kashyap tried to do give time audience to connect with character and as story progress character grows and you can see different shades of them and you can actually feel their pain, helplessness , anger and their happiness

    vineet singh is reallly deserve huge round og appluse for giving outstanding performance not only for acting also for co-screenply writing. Zoya Hussain and vineet singh onscreen chemistry really good and you can actully feel their love on screen

    As usual Jimmy shergill and Ravi kishan provided the strenght need for the flim with their acting. overall this movie is really good and all credit goes to anurag kashyap making such a solid movie..

    Mukkabaaz is a film packed with lot of PUNCH !!!

    Phantoms are back in action in association with Anand Rai for the first time, witnessed this mind blowing 150 min sports/ political drama a month back in a film festival, if it would have been any other director this one might have been a normal sports film but Kashyap as usual throws light on the reality with huge research on the background of Indian sports and the politics behind it, also involves the social issues the country is facing. Vineet Singh truly has put sweat and blood along with his acting talent to deliver this stellar performance, Jimmy Shergill and Ravi Kisan both joining hands with Kashyap for the first time have done a brilliant job. This one's truly a powerful comeback by Kashyap with literally a PUNCH. Kudos to Kashyap !!! Super excited for 12th January !!!

    This is the kind of movies Bollywood should make

    This is the kind of movies that Bollywood needs to make and not the bull shit like 'Tiger Zinda hain' (which I didn't watch after seeing the trailer). Great movie. Good story, acting and direction.

    Solid punch from Anurag for the audience

    Mukkabaaz is full entertainment package of performance, direction, music, dialogue and message for society. Hats off to Anurag Kashyap (director) (undefined) for sport drama with social issue. Script include Caste discrimination, Beef issue, Bharat Mata ki jai Issue, Struggle in the area of sport, Passion and Love. Dialogues were witty and full of punches e.g. Inki Bidi ka tambakoo khatm ho gaya hain(His cigaretts without Tabocco) and Hum UP ke Mike Tyson hain (I am Mike Tyson of UP). Vineet Kumar Singh mesmerized audience with spell-bounding performance. Debut-ant Zoya Hussain (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zoya_Hussain&action=edit&redlink=1) brilliantly act through expressions. Jimmy Sheirgill another big pillar of this cinema who showcase evilness. Ravi Kishan and Shree Dhar Dubey (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shree_Dhar_Dubey&action=edit&redlink=1) have delivered strong supporting performance. Nawazuddin Siddiqui (Bollywood Film Actor) (undefined) 's guest appearance was catchy. Music was raw and really impressive as Rachita Arora's first music direction in the Bollywood. "Mushkil Hai Apna Meil Priye", "Paintra" and "Bahut Hua Samman" were unique and great one songs.

    A rare genre of sports drama

    #mukkabaaz 2hrs 35 mins

    imdb -8.4/10.

    PLOT A lower caste boxer struggles to keep up his career against different odds. Review So.... Anurag Kashyap after a decent film on a serial killer washed his hands for a film(told to be inspired by true events) related with street boxing in the alleys of UP. The film delivers as we all expect from Kashyap's film....brilliant performance,excellent direction and able screenplay.Remember,vineet kumar singh from ugly..he is the main character playing the street boxer shravan singh here.In his role he is more than perfect in his role...well adjectives will be short to describe his performance...he gets under the skin role so well that no one will be able to pick out a signle fault.His body transformation for this film is really inspiring.Jimmy Shergill was excellent in his role as Bhagwan Das mishra..the local goon leader and the villian..his body language and local accent was perfect.Zoya Hussein playing the role of a mute niece to shergill shines in her debut performance.Ravi kishan was also good....but the storyline was bit extended and fails to match the heights of gangs of wasseypur,Gullal...his previous masterpieces but this cinema is just short of achieving a classic tag because it slightly lacks kashyap's signature direction style which is unique.The gripping pace of the film will hold you to the seat but last 15-20mins seems to be forcefully extended. The songs of the film "paintra","Bohot hua samman" nicely fits into the film....this is rare type of sports drama made in bollywood with so much reality involved and must deserve a standing ovation for all the efforts the entire unit has made to create this film...9.2/10......

    • Trivia
      Kashyap sent his second unit director Saqib Pandor), to record boxing tournaments on camera and the state tournament shown in the film is recreation of actual tournaments they had recorded on camera. They witnessed a boxing tournament happening under the tent and without an audience because their own space was occupied by something else and other boxers who sit and watch them. He also realized that after attending an actual boxing tournament in north India that there was no audience apart from people in power who decide which boxer should represent the state, and who will not. Kashyap then told Singh to train himself and he started training in Mumbai. Kashyap told him not to do the "filmi training" but to become a hardcore boxer. There are no boxing choreographers, action directors in the film. Singh was trained for a year to play the boxer's role by a coach, Anudeep Singh, who was coaching people for free and runs a garage for money. He told Kashyap that he wanted to be a boxer but he could not play. These stories were also used for the research of the film. Singh did not disclose that he was preparing for a role in film to his coach
