Namrata Joshi The Hindu Jan 2, 2019
The central characters might be nicely defined on paper but the performances are set a few notes too high. Go to Full Review
Rachel Saltz New York Times Jan 31, 2016
Ms. Kongara seems to know the clichés of fighter movies and is mostly unembarrassed to embrace them. That keeps the film humming along, as does Mr. Madhavan, who grows in stature along with Adi. Go to Full Review

1.5/5
These overcooked, manufactured emotions are redundant layers in context of typical underdog stories. Saala Khadoos is everything that is wrong with this genre. Go to Full Review
Pooja Pande BookMyShow Jan 17, 2019
The film is crisp, and does not stray away from its USP at any point - its emotional connection with us, the audience. Go to Full Review

2/5
Between its many, many confused, underdeveloped, raucous ideas hides the film Saala Khadoos set out to be. Too bad it never made it to the screen. Go to Full Review
Saibal Chatterjee NDTV Jul 2, 2018
2.5/5
Why does Saala Khadoos fail to land the knockout punch in spite of getting a few hooks and upper cuts right? Despite the many promising situations that it rustles up, there is little room in the well-intentioned yet rough-hewn drama for genuine surprises. Go to Full Review

Anakin S Nov 21, 2018 This is a solid sports movie from Bollywood. I do feel it is surpassed by other films in its genre, but nonetheless, this one has certain qualities that make it stand out. I think the movie's greatest asset is that is showcases some very good performances. I do feel there is a bit too much going on in the story and for that sometimes it's hard to tell what the movie wants to focus on. I think if it focused up a little more on the sports element of the story and took out all of the romance elements, I may have considered it to be a great one. Overall, it's a solid sports movie that has a positive message and features a great boxing sequence in the final act. Fans of sports movies should check it out. See more
Theodore R Aug 17, 2018 Maddy seems to be a Mark of Quality Cinema, worth watching. Great Performances and good boxing flix
Anakin S Jul 15, 2018 Madhvan was good. But story compromised with Boxing. Could not connect with it. Good but could be better.
Theodore W May 14, 2018 I liked the movie, but I did fell it went overboard with the storytelling. The plot revolves around dirty politics in woman's boxing association. A boxing coach finds a promising boxer in the slums, they go through hardship & challenges to become the best in the country only to face the hurdle of corruption and enmity by the association head. I understand there are problems with sports association but the movie makers must have combined all the issues faced by different individuals into this single story. Also, romantic songs and angles are not needed in a sports movie. It does have great casting and performance by all, the leads as well as supporting actors. A good watch and really good efforts in covering a genre (woman in sports) normally ignored by the public in general See more
