Mother India Reviews
Film Threat
Phil Hall
The only thing this ponderous Bollywood epic could inspire is matricide.
Chicago Reader
Fred Camper
As the mother, Nargis is as resolute as a force of nature, and Mehboob Khan creates tableaux of the family that evoke its fragile unity.
New York Times
Dave Kehr
Often said to have helped set the pattern for the nearly 50 years of Indian film that has followed it.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
An outrageous masala of apparently discordant elements.
culturevulture.net
George Wu
Throughout Mother India, [Mehboob] presents the landscape, the crops, the herds of livestock practically as characters in themselves.
TV Guide
The most popular film in Indian history -- it's said to have been playing somewhere in the country every day since its release.
