Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
meetjasper-408-741751 This is one of the funniest movies I have ever watched. I have not seen Tamil version but I have seen Hindi version. I watched first 20 mins of this movie and my jaw is already hurting. This movie has too much fun just like Hera Feri and Anadaz Apana Apana. I totally disagree with other commenters who mentioned that Kamal hasan's acting is not great in this movie. Kamal and other team members did amazing job. Don't expect all movies like Sadma. This is comedy movie and you should not expect some serious acting in it. This is not kamal hasan movie. Just watch it as a funny movie. This movie has all the masti/laughter/enjoyment. I seriouly do not understand problem of other commenters. This is very under-rated movie. Must watch movie. This is one of the funniest movies I have ever watched.

kishan_ninja This movie is actually very good.when it was released it did not get good reviews and hence i decided to skip the movie but happened to see it accidentally in more recent times.This movie is an out and out comedy movie with lots of plot twists and confusion(which can be followed easily).Only kamal hassan can make such a movie with lots of twists and turns and yet remain within the plot without making the storyline an allout mess which other directors are capable of.Pasupathi was simply superb in his role carrying on with ease.Other characters also put up good performances.I highly recommend this movie for a great weekend and am sure this ribtickler will be a gasp of fresh air which surely makes one happy at the end.I give this movie a 8/10.
amir khan unlike veer Zara which present you all the lies about India this is the movie that show you the true face of India,without any lie to tell you it shows that how people can be corrupted and this kind of behavior is being created by the people when the first character of the movie mumbai express realized that he himself is one of the sacrifice's of the corrupted society,and this product is going to create another one (by kidnapping another child) and also another characters are forced to create this plan and go through that when an empty future is waiting for them.and its a disaster when you see that people are not interested in truth they would prefer to watch the incorrect legends.
Kumar Y I am sorry. Let me be very frank, if you are looking for Kamal's acting or pasupathy's performance like in Virumandi, then please avoid this movie. But if you want to laugh your heart out and forget the story, logic etc etc then please do go to this movie.Movie as a whole has very weak plot, Kamal looks like was not really sure how he wanted to end the movie and what message he wanted to give. The story goes like this, Chidambaram (Pashupathy) and his two friends - codenamed B and C -make a plan to kidnap the son of a rich builder. They discuss their foolproof plan sitting at their adda in Mumbai's Dharavi. But there comes the first problem in whole problematic kidnapping Episode. - C is rushed for an appendicitis operation. A (Chidhambaram, of course!) and B are stopped by C's wife from abandoning the plan and further recommends her much talented brother Mumbai Xpress in place of her husband.Avinashi (Kamal Haasan), who is deaf, (Mumbai Xpress is only a nickname as , if you're wondering). Xpress jinxes the endeavour and a series of unfortunate events like horse bites, car crashes and accidents ensue. Eventually, Avinash manages to kidnap a boy but he is not the boy. Their starts the whole confusion for us as well as for the director. He was not sure how to take the movie further put everyone including the audiences in a tight spin.I kept wondering, did he wanted to say that father(or parental patronage) is very important to a boy/child, or did he wanted to stress all the women like is bundles and bundles of money or did he wanted to say following the 'straight path' is good in life. Keep guessing it. Some of the picturisation especially at the Slum shots with over head aircrafts flying was damn good.My best scene is the School prayer scene where the children who watches Kamal and play the song with expression of emotions while he tries to climb the rope, it was a real good idea. I think Kamal is one of those few good directors who can think of such peculiar but reality situations.But still my sincere suggestion to Kamal would be to go back to Western movies and adopt some stories like he did earlier and give us a new tamil Movie.
