“#FinalVerdictu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie suffers from a weak script u0026amp; vacuous screenplay which will be a huge turnoff even for its target audience. The masses will be disappointed and box office prospects will also be a grim disappointment. Director Mikhil Musale is making his Bollywood directorial debut with Made In China u0026amp; even though one is mentally prepared for the kind of adult humour that the film promises to offer, still, one feels let down because it goes extremely overboard u0026amp; directionless. Add to that, the puerile story (Mikhil Musale, Parinda Joshi u0026amp; Karan Vyas, with Niren Bhattu0026#39;s additional screenplay) only makes the film cringeworthy. The film is nothing but an onscreen amalgamation of one-liners u0026amp; double entendres. Replete with outrageous dialogues (Niren Bhatt u0026amp; Karan Vyas), Made In China hinges on a wafer-thin plot, relies largely on jokes u0026amp; gags which appear funny at times but cheap in the overall perspective and turns into a serious letdown.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThough there are instances where you feel like director Mikhil Musale has somehow managed (read u0026#39;struggledu0026#39;) to maintain the filmu0026#39;s proceedings, they are few and far between. What Made In China really needed was a good dose of the magic soup itself.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile the music (Sachin-Jigar) is nothing to write about, it remains an average fair. The background score (Sachin-Jigar) helps lift a few moments but is not enough. The editing (Manan Ashwin Mehta) too, is plain average. As for the performances, Rajkummar Rao stands out with a magnificent act. The actor hasnu0026#39;t let the shimmer of his success taint his acting. Although this is Mouni Royu0026#39;s second Bollywood film, she owns every bit of the screen time she gets. Amyra Dastur, Paresh Rawal, Gajraj RaO and Sumeet Vyas also keep you interested in them with their limited screen time. Boman Irani, however, is the one who takes the cake in Made In China. His performance dwarfs everything and everyone else on screen.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTo sum up, Made In China carries the message of normalizing conversations around sex, exposing the taboo u0026amp; hypocrisy surrounding it, which is commendable but it also gets cringeworthy. A wise-cracking mentor tells the protagonist – u0026quot;the customer is a ch***ya (the unmentionable isnu0026#39;t uttered, the audience is left to read the lips of the two actors) – and you wonder if the makers of this film believe in that axiom themselves. Wait for it to come on the streaming platform. Donu0026#39;t watch it in theatres!”
