Critics' Verdict

Critics overwhelmingly agreed that Vikrant Massey delivers a career best performance, convincingly portraying Manoj Kumar Sharma across changes in age, appearance, confidence and circumstances. Vidhu Vinod Chopra was praised for the film’s real locations, grounded examination of the UPSC ecosystem, emotional sincerity and refusal to excessively glamorise poverty or achievement.

4/5
Koimoi hails it as pure, personal and courageous filmmaking, powered by Vikrant’s complete surrender to the role. The early romantic section briefly interrupts its impressive momentum.

Bollywood Hungama calls it a well intentioned, inspiring saga with an engaging screenplay and sharp dialogues. Vikrant excels, though weak music and limited commercial appeal are drawbacks.
