Review: Miss India aspires to spawn an old-tale, the rise of a weak that everyone underestimates. The movie felt too staged. We've watched several success stories of women stepping into business or striving hard to achieve their goals - but this movie lacks emotional connection. There was no proper closure in any of the relationships addressed. The story begins with an unnatural statement about an ambitious journey. Miss India is about Manasa Samyuktha, a girl who works hard to achieve what she dreamed of against all odds. But, why USA? Apart from the over-marketing of chai in this movie, it also communicated the stigma around entrepreneurial women and marriage to make their parents' content. This issue directed living in a foreign land seemed unprecedented and too fabricated. An estimation of four out of six male characters in the movie are either misogynist or sexist or both!

If you think I've ruined the film for you, don't! The movie starts with the success of Manasa and if you think the journey is filled of suspense and twists, you're wrong again! Manasa doesn't know where her boyfriend works or who he is. With a great cast, every loose end of the movie seemed too frustrating. Within the first half an hour, it is all about the overdramatic situations: a sister who elopes and gets married, a father who gets Alzheimer's, and a beloved member of the family, expires. Nadhiya's role enfeebled from the know-it-all mother to who couldn't decipher the desires of her children. Manasa's fierce to success was all on dialogues than expositions. The screenplay is aimless and obvious.

While Manasa Samyukta explains how she doesn't like to waste food in a scene, she doesn't touch the ordered coffee when she visits KSK for the first time with her friends. Even though the scene was to deepen the meaning of how coffee is not her cup of tea, it felt too poorly orchestrated. 

The introduction of the antagonist didn't disseminate the effect of power but was too hilarious with the hype. With too many content-less dialogues and futile advice that does not add up to anything in the end, Miss India is a simple, poorly written with average performance and too long for its story! An aimless journey filled with too many structured dialogues that lacked impact!
