Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Sep 3, 2026
1.5/5
Directed by Devashish Makhija whose previous ‘Cheetpatakadumpa’ made solid use of its leads’ feminist energy...Gandhari feels as if it has slipped between the cracks: it is neither impactful nor believable. Go to Full Review

Gandhari is a Frankenstein movie- disjointed ideas stitched haphazardly, expecting too much, without much return. Go to Full Review
Madhurima Sarkar Mashable India Sep 15, 2026
1.5/5
Gandhari does not offer anything particularly new with its script. While that in itself is not necessarily a problem, for a thriller, there is also nothing remotely intriguing enough to keep you on the edge. Go to Full Review

It reflects a truth about society that continues to prevail, and Gandhari makes for an arresting showcase for the most part of it. Go to Full Review

Taapsee Pannu's Gandhari is Mardaani blended with Baby Do Die Do but Kanika Dhillon's pretentious writing makes it shallow and shoddy. Go to Full Review

While its social commentary is important, the way it goes about showcasing all of it seems amusing after a while. Go to Full Review

Milind T @milind3118 Sep 20, 2026 Incoherent. A serious issue successfully botched. See more Sujit N @RT85659387 Sep 19, 2026 Could have made something out of the story, but the director tried to do too many things I guess. Mixing plots of successfull story lines won’t make a great movie. See more Hotma Fani H @RT22527964 Sep 12, 2026 Gandhari has a premise that immediately grabs your attention: a mother loses her eyesight while trying to save her kidnapped daughter, then transforms into someone willing to do whatever it takes to find her child and seek revenge. Taapsee Pannu brings a strong presence to the role of Bani. There's anger, desperation, and a mother's unwavering determination that makes her character easy to root for. The film also attempts to tackle human trafficking and the failures of the justice system, giving the story more weight than just another revenge-driven action movie. Unfortunately, Gandhari often feels too preoccupied with trying to appear serious and important. Some of the dramatic moments feel forced, while the mystery doesn't always build the tension you'd expect. The ideas are compelling, but the execution lacks consistency. For me, Gandhari is a film with significant potential that never fully manages to realize it. See more Aly G @Aly13G Sep 10, 2026 The movie was acted poorly, but the story is very thrilling. There are lots of turn of events, and the action scenes were decent. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Sep 9, 2026 Gandahari is actually a pretty decent movie. The story centers around child trafficking and a mother determined to find her daughter, fighting her way through an increasingly dangerous situation alongside her husband. What really caught me off guard was the deeply sinister twist toward the end. It was something I genuinely did not expect and gave the story a much darker impact. Unfortunately, the biggest problem for me was the English dubbing. The voices were so poorly matched to the tone of the story that they sometimes made the movie feel like a comedy. That is a major issue because the actual story and screenplay are serious, emotional, and heartbreaking, yet the dubbing constantly took me out of the experience. I honestly think I would have connected with this movie much more if I had watched it in its original language. The story itself has enough depth to pull you in, but the English voice performances made it difficult to take the film seriously. I wouldn’t watch again See more Umakanth P @RT41524779 Sep 8, 2026 looks like the producer and director were blind too - blind faith indeed See more Read all reviews
