Mumbaikar

Sameer lodaya

The movie is wrongly based and titled as mumbaikar as no instances shown occurs in mumbai

The main content is said to be inspired by some south movie but the title of mumbaikar and the city which is described is absolutely not mumbai..there spirit of mumbai is very high and positive the elements shown like acid attack ,kidnapping,looting,etc happens very less in mumbai ..more of negativity shown rather than good qualities of mumbai..unnecessary connections were developed and showcased

Only Vijay was good in the movie in compare to all big stars

This is not expected from great Santosh sivan.

Yes, I felt this one was very fast movie. From the begininng events taking place very fast. Story going smoothly and taking a turn at acid events, kidnapping and misunderstanings. Story merging with all characters at some point. Mumbai people's different flavours shown perfectly. One Mafia, A Local Gang, New comer in Mumbai for join the Gang, Another New comer for new professional job for family and girlfriend, His Selfish Friend, One Middle class new comer for settle down in mumbai with Taxi Driver's job, A Corrupt Police Officer, An Honest Hawaldar and last but no the least the Couple. Songs not required. But end was not that much good. Still one time watch! Vijay's acting was fabulous.

A simple word short review - by - itsbymayank Mayank Louteriya

Firstly it's a mix of individuals Mumbaikar's story.

All the characters have done a good work.

Director have to be like this, he can work in any genre.

A simple one time watch good movie.

A actual life of Mumbai people with some masala in it.

There is a song but in background that's the best thing I believe because makers didn't want to make movie Lengthy.

Unnecessarily makers didn't make it Lengthy and didn't put anything anytime.

Every part and scene is OK and set there.

If you don't know about the makers of the film just go and search it.

To be honest I Mayank Louteriya - Select films not because of only actors but makers..

Thanks - go watch it once.. Review of Mumbaikar by itsbymayank.

Mumbaikar review :

Premiering this weekend on JioCinema, Mumbaikar is another South remake attempted by Bollywood. This time, they have picked up Lokesh Kanagaraj's far superior Maanagaram (2017) and made an average Hindi movie out of it. Quite unnecessary I would say, as the original Hindi dub of the Tamil hit is available online!!

Anyway, Mumbaikar marks the Bollywood debut of Tamil star Vijay Sethupathi and it's kinda sad he has chosen this launch which offers him no scope at all. In fact, his character is so underdeveloped that you just can't connect with it. Vikrant Massey is another wasted talent here and you sincerely wish this gentleman chooses better projects... for his own good!! The pretty Tanya Maniktala is the proverbial heroine but trust me, she was much better off in A Suitable Boy (2020).

The plot, revolving around a kidnapping gone wrong, which impacts some dozen odd characters ranging from underworld to a BPO (outsourcing) office, is something up Kanagaraj's sleeve. Director Santosh Sivan falters badly with its Hindi remake, which is a bit surprising looking at his rich experience.

Watch Mumbaikar only if you have nothing else to do this weekend.

In addition to the technical aspects, the movie itself was a bit dull and disconnected. The storyline failed to establish a strong connection between the characters, resulting in a lack of chemistry among the artists. However, the movie managed to capture its message effectively in the last 10 minutes. It beautifully portrayed the essence of Mumbai, where people selflessly help one another, regardless of their names or relationships. Conversely, they also unknowingly form enemies without any real reason. The film depicted a city where everyone is constantly on the move, yet they manage to form complex relationships, exhibit acts of humanity, and even cultivate enmity, all without knowing each other's names.
