I am positively biased with this film. Indeed, entertainment quotient is a bit less but motivational quotient is over flowing. Director Mr. Ketan Mehata work and motive are worth praising. This story must have been told. Story is simply unbelievable, credit goes to Shree Dashrath Manjhi and God only. Screenplay by director himself and Jakhar Mahendar, offers fresh and visual rich scenes. Like the scene, where both lead hide themselves in mud. It was cute and adorable. Love scenes are well conceived so they justify the motive and strength behind an impossible task. I do know its fact but still my mind sometimes refuse to believe on it. I am very tiny to ever understand the motive, decision and dedication of a man at the very beginning of this work and astonishingly keeping himself charging till the work get done. Simply unbelievable but definitely I feel motivated and charged by his journey. Screenplay had to follow fact while maintaining the silver screen requirements and they succeeded in it by incorporating few sub plots of the issues of that time. Like adding a Naxal hint. Dialogues by Vardraj Swami, Shahzad Ahmad are good and realistic. I fear people not aware of the local dialect would feel difficult to get some typical words but being well aware of that I enjoyed it most. Budget constraint is clearly visible in production value. Makers fail to establish the need of cutting the mountain and even they couldn't establish the progress of way being made visually and gradually. With the help of now a days advance technology I don't think it could have cost them so dearly because whenever main protagonist breaks a rock, I couldn't feel the need of braking any particular stone. It looks like he is just breaking a mountain aimlessly. I would have loved some aerial shots and graphics for this sake. Performance wise Nawazuddin Siddqui is actor par excellence. After a point you have to believe that he is the real Dashrath Majhi. Radhika Apte as Faguniya, is very good. Pankaj Tripathi as Rauab, is good. Tigmanshu Dhulia is fine. Prashant Narayan makes his presence felt in brief role. Ashraful Haque as Manjhi father in impressive. Vardraj Swami as Gopal's father is good. Music wise "Sajanwa, sajanwa" track is melodious. Credit goes to music director Sandesh Shandilya.

Manjhi – The Mountain Man is a true story of guts and glory of Dashrath Manjhi who took 22 years to break a mountain to carve a road for his village – Gehlor in Gaya district of Bihar, India. It takes nerve of steel to make biography of not-so-famous personality who took 22 years of his life to break a mountain. After failure of Rang Rasiya, legendary film maker Ketan Mehta is back with a bang. The director who gave us some great films like Mirch Masala and Mangal Pandey takes a dig into another true story of a forgotten hero and we are not complaining at all. The movie begins with Manjhi loosing his wife as he blames the gigantic mountain for her death. The movie goes into a flashback mode showing his transformation from an innocent kid to a trouble-maker youth. Chance to meet his girlfriend changes him completely. Couple of scenes will steal the thunder – The chemistry between Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Radhika Apte, the transformation from loyal husband to obsessed old man and the well-executed climax scene. Hats off to Ketan Mehta and team ( Shahzad Ahmad for doing research and dialogue and Rajbali Anjum for the script) for standing out in the crowd. Screenplay loses the focus and too much of flashback will confuse you but the hiccups are only short-lived. Editing by Pratik Chitalia is good. Art direction by Nitin Chandrakant Desai is mind- blowing. Cinematography by Rajeev Jain is eye-catching. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is magnificent. He is probably one of the few actors who goes deep-diving into the any character with aplomb. Certainly an award wining performance from him. Radhika Apte is getting better with each. She emotes expressively. Rest of the star cast do justice to their role Manjhi – The Mountain Man has cult status written all over it. It is definitely worth watching thanks to the stupendous performances by Nawazuddin Siddiqui, superb direction and astounding background score. Excellent

probably this dialogue from this movie is enough to describe this masterpiece. Based on the life story of Dasharath Manjhi who was from Bihar,India, cut down a full mountain by his own. U want to know why? Go n watch this master piece Nawazuddin Siddiqui gave his lifetime performance in this movie. though his each n every performance is just awesome but still I have to say that this one is way above other performance We all know that Ketan Mehta is an awesome director

"Manjhi - The Mountain Man" Well I have never written any review for any movie till date, however I couldn’t stop myself from writing about this movie after watching it. Based on true story, this movie has something to teach us which has so much of inspiring messages for all of us. The movie delivers an epic message through its story which says that “Nothing is Impossible in this world if you have that will, that determination.†Dashrath Manjhi(Played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui),a man from Gehlore,a small village in Bihar, belonging to a lower caste as per this so called “society†has this guts to carve a path from the mountains all alone with just a chisel. It took him 22 long years to do so, but one thing which had trapped his mind was the thought of never giving up. This story had every element in it. Love, sacrifice, patience, dedication and lots of tragedy. The motivation behind his decision of breaking the mountains was the death of his beloved wife Phaguniya(played by Radhika Apte)whom he couldn’t save after she fell down from the mountains.In this anger of revenge of her death, he decided to break the mountain’s ego by breaking it gradually and eventually carving a path out of it. Everytime Manjhi’s patience would give up, his love for Phaguniya held him strongly to not give up. It took him 22 years and finally his determination and his hard work forced everyone to believe him. A very influential dialogue from the movie “Bhagwan ke bharose nhi baithna chaiye..Kya pata Bhagwan humare bhaorse baitha ho.â€(Meaning We should not wait for God to let something happen,who knows God may be waiting for us to make that happenâ€) Mind-blowing performance by Mr.Siddiqui. I truly believe he is one of the finest actors this industry has given us. Hats off to the performers and the Mountain Man who taught us so much. It is truly inspiring and gives me a hope to live my life with strong will and determination and believing in that “Nothing is Impossibleâ€.
