Truly Authentic

Movie shows you everything as is. The setting, acting, dialect is as close to reality as it can get.

It is mainly a story of a simple minded poor villager struggling for his daily survival. Movie highlights his challenges, frustration and anguish but is never over the top. And while at it also provides subtle commentary on everything from village politics, police, health infrastructure, poor water quality, dowry etc.

Acting is top notch and everyone has captured the mannerism and dialect so perfectly that no body looks out of place.

Movie is bit slow but not to be missed. It speaks less but conveys so much.

A must watch.

Prakash Jha is a treat to watch. The whole cast is simply the best. Pure acting and perfect direction! No exaggeration at all. It feels so real that you forget you are watching a movie. This is the kind of cinema we need more of. The story is heart wrenching and thought-provoking. It evokes all sorts of emotions in you -gratitude, anger, sadness, frustration, helplessness. There are moments that teach you the joy in small things. The story is so engrossing that it stays with you for a long time. The beginning engages you thoroughly and the ending is so strong. In the end, the movie says everything without saying anything at all. Kudos to the whole team for making such a soulful movie.

Original Cinema...Matto wins your heart.

Message to Team,

Dear Prakash Jee,watched #MattoKiSaikil today. Thanks for bringing back the original cinema. A cinema that connects masses,A cinema which asks questions and an ending which makes you silent. A great effort, Wonderful creation by M Gani jee. Keep up the good work .

Message to viewers, Matto will win your heart. You will laugh with him,you will cry with him,you will sing with him and you will dream with him. A motivational screenplay that brings back the importance of tiny little moments of life to be happy. Matto ki Saikil is a masterpiece in this time of copy/paste cinema. No vfx, no auto tune, pure acting and emotions.

A must watch.

One of the best art movie

Not close to but actual reality of poor community in india, politician are only see their benefit abd poor become poor. No life of poor. Amazing acting by Prakash Jha and team all were superb. I felt that I was not watching movie but live documentary. All were so real.

After long time watched actual art direction and real acting by actors no weak points in movie I would say lot better than all crap bolloywood movies who are not close to reality.

Making this kind of movie makes lots of guts and effects.

Really happy to see Prakash jha acting he is so real and observed the character of labour guy. Who earn hard money every day.
