Imran Khan and
Anushka Sharma in the titular roles, while
Arya Babbar and
Shabana Azmi played supporting roles.

Plot
Set in the rustic surroundings of a village in Haryana, the film is a comedy-drama about Harry Mandola (
Pankaj Kapur), a wealthy industrialist who loves his drink, his daughter Bijlee (
Anushka Sharma) and the unusual bond they both share with Harry’s man friday, Matru (
Imran Khan). Matru studies LLB in
Delhi University
but does not get a job upon graduation and returns to his village to
take up his family profession of serving the Mandola family. Also, he
loves Bijlee. Bijlee later goes to
Oxford University to study and falls in love with Baadal (
Arya Babbar), the son of a powerful politician, Chaudhari Devi (
Shabana Azmi),
and much to her father's delight, Bijlee is all set to marry Baadal.
This alliance which is far from being a simple union of two young people
becomes the seed for a story that brings twists and turns in the lives
of Matru, Bijlee and Mandola.

reason remained unclear with sources claiming that Devgan had been lured
by the money Viacom 18 Motion Pictures offered him for Ashwini Dhir's
project.
Shahid Kapoor was later approached by Bhardwaj.

Critical reception
Roma Heer & Gautam Batra of Wassupbollywood.com gave 2.5/5 stars saying
Matru
Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola is a completely boring & itchy drama. It has
nothing exciting despite of Pankaj Kapur’s performance. Watch it only if
you are a die hard fan of Pankaj Kapur. [9] Raja Sen for
Rediff.com has given 4/5 stars and says
Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola has enough substance to warrant repeated viewings.
[10]
Indicine rated the film 2.5/5 saying "Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mondala" is
Bhardwaj’s most commercial film to date. It isn’t his best work, far
from it. But the film has his moments, the north Indian audience will
understand and enjoy it a little more. Pankaj Kapoor’s flawless
performance itself is worth the price of your ticket.
[11]
Also Anupama Chopra rated the movie a 2.5/5. She said "Parts of the
film soar but many are saggy and ultimately I was just underwhelmed"
[12]
Vivek Kaul at
First_Post_(India) praised the movie, calling it the new Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron.

Box Office

Rating:

Macbeth
and Maoism don't normally make for a cinematic cocktail, but with
Vishal Bhardwaj you can never tell. Vishal's is a mindspace where
nothing ever unfolds as it would seem. He played out the surprise
quotient in
Kaminey,
Omkara and
Maqbool. He does it again with his new film, teasingly packaged as a rom-com.
Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola is
a satire that uses a Shakespearean whiff and shades of Red politics to
make a caustic comment beneath its catchy, mouthful of a title. If
comedy mixed with romance has become a Bollywood staple to ensure
box-office kill, Vishal uses the formula to add layers to what starts
off as a deceptively simple tale.
A lot has been said about the
uber-cool Imran Khan's rustic Haryanvi turn. You could have a few
hiccups when he tries out the Jatt accent, but the guy admirably moulds
himself into what is surely the best role to have come his way yet.
Matru's
Bijlee, Anushka Sharma, does a better job though, when it comes to
getting into the skin of character. May be, Anushka is getting into a
comfort zone playing these bubbly feisty types film after film. Vishal's
latest merely gives her scope to add some depth to her set Bollywood
image.
The killer acts, though, come from the veterans. This is
Pankaj Kapur's film, no doubt. As Harry Mandola, millionaire with a dual
personality, Pankaj flaunts versatile abundance. Whatever little screen
space is left is hogged by Shabana Azmi, Hindi cinema's most
accomplished actor right now, despite restricted footage as a ruthless
politician.
Mandola and Shabana's Chaudhri Devi have a familiar
agenda at hand. They want to grab acres of farmland in their remote
hometown for a Special Economic Zone. The farmers are naturally up in
arms. The black comedy about the screenplay (Vishal and Abhishek
Chaubey) lies in Mandola's eccentric persona. The alcoholic tycoon
becomes a caring soul when drunk, leading a revolution against himself
in that state. When he is sober, he is no better than a beast. The
Macbeth metaphor is cleverly woven in thanks to Mandola's visions. He
sees Gulabo the bhains at odd hours. It is a witty Jatt twist to Lady
Macbeth's bloodied hands.
Vishal uses Matru to make his political
point. Without reserving much surprise, he reveals soon enough that the
mysterious Mao, who guides the farmers in their agitation, is really
Matru, otherwise Mandola's servant and drinking partner.
The
build-up is superb, and the narrative leaves ample room for each
character to grow on you. The polished tech-specs complement the black
comedy, too.
But the film crumbles in the climax, giving you an
end that is too filmy for satisfaction. The end is one that bars
Vishal's latest from becoming an exceptional effort. For everything else
it is worth, this is the first real whopper coming out of Bollywood
this year. Go for it.
