Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

swanbaupro The best thing about "The President is Coming" is that its story is original. In this regard, it has to be commended. Unfortunately, being a low-budget film, the overall product is not of a high quality. The dialogues and acting are amateurish. The English spoken by the Indian actors is not properly enunciated and the accent is thick most of the time. It would have been better if the dialogues had been in Hindi.I would say that it is worth a watch but don't expect a high-quality work. The jokes may make you chuckle at regular intervals but be prepared for the uneven quality of the acting. The ending is special and that leaves a somewhat sweet after-taste in your mouth.My verdict: good try; do better next time.

RamReddy The story idea was decent. But the movie was bad, very disappointing. I felt the director didn't do a good job because the screenplay was lacking. There were a couple of good scenes that made me laugh. But most of the jokes were contrived. You can't get away from criticism by calling it a documentary (i.e. low budget). It needs to be compared to a commercial movie. My test is simple - Was it an entertaining movie? After sitting through the whole movie - the answer is No. I felt cheated because the movie could have been better than the final product that was presented.Konkona Sen Sharma was a waste. I decided to watch the movie as I saw her name in the titles.

bretthicksmaitland I saw this film in New York City for the South Asian Festival. How wonderful to see the first of it's kind and an Indian mockumentary. The film was good fun - the audience loved it and laughed the whole way through. The actors were all very strong - and the script was fast paced and very theatrical. Always a pleasure to watch Konkona Sen Sharma strutting her stuff. Anand Tiwari is absolutely hysterical - he's one to watch out for.The cast work very well together as a whole - and the animated sequences are a real treat - that make you think that you are watching some sort of reality TV show - that people get voted out of. I think this film will do very well in India and abroad!!!!

sr240 I thoroughly enjoyed The President is Coming. It is funny and witty, although not necessarily in that order. There are memorable punch lines thrown in which makes you wonder why there isn't more of this humor since India and Indians lend themselves so well to a lot of this tongue in cheek stuff. The script astutely mines the foibles of the middle class in their race for recognition and redemption on a global scale. "If you were a stock, madam, I would buy you" is an instant classic. There is much more of these humdingers. If you like Wes Anderson and Christopher Guest, you'll be sure to like this one.
