Cast: Imran Khan, Anushka Sharma, Pankaj Kapoor, Shabana Azmi
Direction: Vishal Bharadwaj.
Story Line: Romantic Comedy
Rating: 2.5/5
While the plot is basically about illegal land acquisition, here the story revolves around industrialist Harry Mandola (Apnkaj Kapur), his daughter Bijlee (Anushka Sharma) and Mandola's odd-job man Matru(Imran Khan). Bijlee is all set to marry the local politician's (Shabana Azmi) dumb son badal (Arya Babbar). The wedding is a mutually beneficial deal between the industrialist and the politician. But of course, there has to be the typical Bollywood-style twist where Bijlee falls in love with Matru, putting the entire arrangement in jeopardy.
The pace of the first half is quite slow and the story tends to drag a bit till interval. Except a few songs, there's nothing outstanding about the music. Imran Khan has obviously put in a lot of hard work to make the transformation to a Haryanvi hero. The Matru Ki Bijlee ka Mandola songs are not upto the mark.

Review:
'Matru Ki Bijlee ka Mandola' has a lot of things going for it but somehow it lacks the edge of other Vishal Bharadwaj films. Except his last production (7 Khoon Maaf), Vishal Bharadwaj's production are commendable for their tight, flawless scripts but in 'Matry...' too much is spent on background and creating context before the story unfolds.
The pace of the first half is quite slow and the story tends to drag a bit till interval. Except a few songs, there's nothing outstanding about the music. Imran Khan has obviously put in a lot of hard work to make the transformation to a Haryanvi hero. The Matru Ki Bijlee ka Mandola songs are not upto the mark.
