PHULE is a powerful biopic unveiling the untold story of Mahatma Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule, the visionary reformers who fought for girls' education, the rights of the oppressed, and widows.

The film progresses through key life moments, almost as if visually and dutifully depicting Wikipedia entries for the Phules.

2.5/5

If there hadn’t been such a pointless fuss made around its subject, ‘Phule’ would have come off exactly as it is, a middling, talky period drama about a remarkable revolutionary couple which set much-needed reforms in motion.

Phule unfolds with the dullness of a history lesson, shrinking the expansiveness of their achievements to cherry-picked incidents and reducing the eventfulness of their lives to mere events.

The film-making is dull, the writing incurious, the performances flat, and the period dressing unconvincing at best.

3.5/5

Phule tells an inspiring tale but it is not the sort of crowd-pleasing movie that could inveigle those who watch and enjoy Chhaava and Tanhaji. It is strictly for those who can separate grain from cinematic chaff.

3.5/5

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. It’s a film that opens your eyes, even if it doesn’t always grip your heart.
