Phule Hindi Movie Review & Rating:
Phule has received mixed reviews from critics. Pratik Gandhi's portrayal of Jyotirao Phule has been widely praised, with some considering it a career-best performance. Patralekhaa's depiction of Savitribai Phule has also been commended for its depth and authenticity.
NDTV: "Pratik Gandhi is the heart and soul of the film… Watch Phule not only because it has something to say but also because of the way it says it—with restraint and integrity."
The Indian Express: "A middling, talky period drama about a remarkable revolutionary couple."
Rediff.com: "In this era of sensationalism, we should appreciate director Anant Mahadevan for treating Phule with composure and not going overboard."
The Hollywood Reporter India: "This biopic is dry and uninspiring… a film about forward-thinking figures stuck in creatively backwards waters."
Firstpost: "On the whole, Phule is a must-watch for all Indians as it is a beautiful tribute to Jyotiba Phule and Savitribai Phule."
Hindustan Times: "Pratik Gandhi and Patralekhaa deliver good performances… Phule is a sincere, important film, dulled by an oversimplistic screenplay and treatment."
The Times of India: "Watch Phule to witness the inspiring true story of India’s first social reformers who challenged caste and gender norms with courage and conviction."
India Today: "Given how little we know of Jyotirao Phule, the first Mahatma of this country, Phule definitely deserves a watch."
Scroll.in: "The film itself douses the more radical aspects of Phule’s singular achievements… the film trundles on, from one familiar history lesson to the next."
Filmfare: "Phule may not captivate in the traditional sense of a biopic, but it succeeds in educating and honoring two of India’s most important yet often overlooked reformers."
Bollywood Hungama: "Phule tells the story of a legendary social revolutionary and rests on the towering performance of Pratik Gandhi, but suffers from a weak script and lacklustre direction."
