Madras Cafe Movie Reviews Recommended By The Times Of India - Srijana Mitra Das
The cinematography is remarkable, shots of huge naval warships, helicopters floating across hills, sunshine on a deadly sea, haunting. Commendably, Sircar never overindulges in gore, keeping Madras Cafe a shifting site of mental violence. Madras Cafe deserves an extra half-star for guts, going for the gunpowder - but with a restrained hand.

Madras Cafe Movie Reviews Recommended By Bollywood Hungama - Taran Adarsh
John Abraham has often been labelled a director's actor and Shoojit makes sure he doesn't let the actor's strong persona overpower the challenging opportunity of depicting a law protector. John too surrenders himself completely to the director's vision and though he doesn't play the conventional hero, he does make an earnest effort to look the part he's portraying. Post ROCKSTAR, Nargis Fakhri gets yet another stellar role [of a war correspondent] and I must add, she takes rapid strides as an actor.

Sircar hits the right strides, and blends fact and fiction with great narrative aplomb and visual flair. Madras Cafe draws upon actual events that are still fresh in the nation’s collective memory and crafts a compelling and fast-paced political drama.

At its running time of two hours, ten minutes, Shoojit Sircar’s Madras Cafe is a swift, smart and serious study of an inglorious chapter of political history. It doesn’t take names but doesn’t hold back either. Even if it packs in classic stereotypes of this genre and the climax is something we all know and vividly remember, the horridness of it continues to startle.
Madras Cafe Movie Reviews Recommended By Koimoi - Mohar Basu
Madras Café is a hypnotically created masterpiece which thrives in the freshness of its conception. Using history with drama to build a persuasive tapestry of enthralling action, energetic plot and skillful narration of the grim phase of Lankan War, Shoojit Sircar astonishes with this fascinating docu style dramatic movie.
Madras Cafe Movie Reviews Recommended By Nowrunning - Mansha Rastogi
Madras Cafe isn't a film you casually enter a cinema hall to watch. It is no Chennai Express which you can laugh off and forget the moment you are out of the cinema halls. Madras Cafe is pacy, involves historical events shown in a light you haven't seen before. There are way too many activities in the film and you cannot afford to miss even a single frame lest you want to go clueless about what happened how and when.
Madras Cafe Movie Reviews Recommended By Bollywood Life - Bhagyashri Pawar
Shoojit Sircar’s Madras Café starring John Abraham and Nargis Fakhri is not just another typical Bollywood masala flick but is a thought provoking, heart touching political drama. It’s a film that will keep you and your eyes glued to the seat and the screen, effortlessly. Sircar has given meaty roles to all his characters and not just the leads.
Madras Cafe Movie Reviews Recommended By Sify - Sonia Chopra
One appreciates the film’s intentions - a controversial political event presented with a no melodrama-no superfluous item-song stance. The film seems to have got its research right, but the treatment is flawed with a heavy, self-serious tone.
