Jeanskynebu the audience applauded

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

alikhan-54521 The lead male actor stalks a female. Later he even clicks photos of the female on his phone without her consent. Later he even follows her everywhere along with a sidekick brother. This film has everything bad n all bad should be flushed down the toilet. The first 35 minutes were purely trash. A 50 year old acting like a 15 year, trying to woo a girl. Climbing trees n clicking photos of females..... no wonder there r so many perverts in India. R most Indian heroes Superman? Watch out what the lead male actor does to the iron rod.... Superb comedy scene man.

ANUNAY SHARMA Toilet is a film about the tussle against deeply rooted superstitions in our mind in the name of culture and religion. On the surface, it is a film about improving public sanitation and emphasis on making toilet in every house to counter the problem of Open defecation.But on a closer look, it sounds more like an struggle between aged and current conception. It is and assault against bygone notions which are deposited in our mind in the name of tradition and religion.Religion never harms anybody, what harms most is the delusional distortion of religion in the name of custom and heritage. And this film tries to oppose the very same distorted notions.A very noble endeavor by the director for picking such a relevant and contemporary issue. But only picking a good idea doesn't translates into a good movie.The first and the foremost issue with the film is its feeble screenplay. It drags too much. The film could have easily been edited by up to an hour. The plot had potential but is lost in the haywire storytelling and never-ending second half. The screenplay of the film would have been made into a good 30-35 minutes short film but if you are making a movie you need to have something much more than that. Aside from screenplay and editing, muddled storytelling is an another drawback. Director drags the film by putting songs and overly sentimental monologues and scenes at regular intervals but it clearly encumbers the flow of narrative. Direction is average at best. Cinematography is good. Music is complete waste and is only there to increase the length of film.Acting is good. Sudhir Pandey went too over the top however considering the demand of the script, it could be forgiven. Akshay Kumar is natural. Bhumi Pednekar was brilliant and nailed her role aptly. The performance which stood out the most was of Divyendu Sharma's as the younger brother of Akshay Kumar.So in the end it's just that the film clearly had the potential of being a powerful social satire but was lost somewhere among weak writing, overly long run-time and bland direction. It could have been much more but is sadly just a promulgation of Prime minister's Clean India Initiative. A one time watch...

mukherjeediptendu Toilet:ek prem katha based around a true event of a village in India and shows the true nature of a part of Indian superstition....This movie is a very comedic heart felt romance drama which surrounds the true nature of those villagers and what motivated to them to do that decade after decade...Toilet tells us story of a village which does not have a single toilet and one man's love story which is at stake for that and the motivation of this superstition of not having a toilet in your own house...With all that this movie is very well directed and written.. It shows every aspect of the problem in a very rich way which will make you know and see better how it can be stopped or continued... The dialogues in this movie is as good as it can get... Acting is just awesome... The romance between two leads are very well done.. the music and songs are good and also flows with the film..There are few problems like the supporting character beside the main male lead sometimes do something which have to be motivated but seems pretty badly scripted not motivated at all... And the very ending of the movie seems rushed... Other than that this is a well directed damn good movie which needed to be shown into the as wider audiences as possible and a story needed to be told..... 7.9/10......

Jay Mehta It's a movie that focuses one of the major and shameful challenges that India is facing today - open defecation. While it is definitely cringe-worthy but it also compromises with women's security. While the story was great - better direction would have made the movie more impactful. Also, unnecessary marketing of government and certain brands is a total spoiler. Story (8/10): It is based on several true stories in India where a woman leaves the in-laws place after knowing that they don't have a toilet at home. In the backdrop of a small town in UP, Keshav is a 30 something unmarried who falls in love with Jaya and eventually marries her. However, after realizing that there is no toilet at his place, Jaya refuses to defecate in open and insists that Keshav build a toilet within the house. However, it's not so easy as Keshav's father, Panditji, a highly religious man, considers it a sin to have a toilet on the same premises where they worship God. After trying many quick-fixes (jugaad), nothing works and Jaya decides to divorce Keshav until the toilet is built. The movie projects many issues that are the root of open defecation (which is just a symptom) - women oppression, blind beliefs, extremist religious views, patriarchal practices, administrative lethargy and more. Through Keshav's character, the story also conveys that it is not enough to just personally consider women as equal to provide them equal rights. If you don't fight any force that oppresses women, you are a part of oppression too. However, the story ends up projecting religion as the only reason (ignoring issues of casteism and lack of dignity of labor) behind the issue of open defecation, which is not true. Acting (9/10): The movie boasts a great cast put together even in the character roles. People to watch out for are - Bhumi Padnekar and Sudhir Pandey. Akshay Kumar is good, although you miss Ajay Devgan in some of the scenes, especially the outburst one where this guy looks a little off (I can easily visualize Ajay doing it with so much ease). Bhumi Padnekar continues to impress in her second movie. Her command over the language is bloody amazing. Her monologue to the women of her village is definitely the heart of the movie. Sudhir Pandey, playing a negative role of an ultra-religious person, was amazing with his spot on expressions and dialog delivery. He made his presence felt very strongly. Divyendu Sharma is great as a second lead with some amazing punches throughout the movie. Anupam Kher is great, except in the scenes that describe his character. Other big names like Ayesha Raza, Atul Shrivastava, Shubha Khote and Rajesh Sharma ensured that movie never fell flat in the acting department. Direction (6/10): The direction could have been much better - the weakest part of the movie. The build up of Keshav and Jaya's story is not convincing, especially with the character sketches of the lead pair. Director ended up trivializing stalking and taking pictures of girls without consent - which was certainly not expected from this kind of a movie. Also, while the movie successfully highlights the problem and the issues related to it, it fails to explain the root causes and instead, just focuses on the religious aspect. What he successfully achieved is to make sure that the movie isn't a drag at any point in time. The execution of scenes of Sudhir Pandey is good, especially his conversation with Anupam Kher. Overall (7/10): Overall, it was a good effort but could have been much better. The story was good and great performances by Bhumi Padnekar and Sudhir Pandey but poor direction left the movie dangling.
