It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Spoofs in Bollywood films are rarely seen, King of Bollywood was one such experiment with Om Puri playing an aged ex superstar who refuses to let his throne be taken over. The film covers everything under the sun in bollywood, and makes fun of everything from Astrologers advise to casting couch.... The film is treated in a humorous way and keeps you entertained throughoutDirection is superb Music is great and suits the themeOm Puri is perfect for his role and slips into it with such ease that he becomes the character, Kavita Kapoor is good, Diwakar Pundir is good Manoj Pahwa,Murli sharma and rest are good

He's a joy to watch from start to end.On the whole, 'King of Bollywood' Salutes The REAL King of Bollywood - Om Puri.

Nicely done movie that satirizes the ongoings in big bollywood productions. The costumes are very unique. Om Puri delivers an inspired performance yet again. Its amazing how he just eases into the lead role and pulls it off effortlessly. There are very few actors in Indian cinema that I can think of who could fit into this role. There were certain scenes that had me laughing hysterically. Also I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of cheesiness in this film. There was only one unnecessary song and dance sequence and even that was relatively short.Go see it if you're looking for a laugh or if you are completely disillusioned with the mindless crap we are bombarded with through mainstream Bollywood cinema.
