Mayasabha movie review- What netizens said
Social media has been flooded with viewers across the nation weighing in on what they thought about the Mayasabha movie.
One X user posted: “Mayasabha has been watched.. Another masterpiece by Rahi Anil Barve, a cautionary tale about guilt, greed and gold! Jaaved Jaaferi bhai holds the film together and how!”
Describing it as “terrific” in a one-worded review, another netizen claimed that “Mayasabha is a gripping psychological drama that swaps spectacle for soul-stirring performances. A slow-burn descent into greed and illusion. Not for everyone, but a must-watch if you love character-driven tension.”
Jaaved Jaaferi's acting earns praise
While there have been negative reviews about Mayasabha, one aspect that viewers hailed is Jaaved Jaaferi's acting prowess.
“Rahi Anil Barve’s Mayasabha is equal parts fascinating and frustrating. Javed Jaffery is beautiful though,” wrote one user.
“Tumbbad director Rahi Anil Barve's latest, MAYASABHA, is both inventive and perplexing. Despite a great Jaaved Jaaferi, the film is all dressed up with nowhere to go,” said another netizen.

Produced by Zirkon Films, the Mayasabha movie is presented and distributed by Pickle Entertainment, led by Sameer Dixit and Rishikesh Bhiringi.
Ahead of the movie's release, a press release mentioned that the Jaaved Jaffery starrer “offers a gripping and introspective exploration of human relationships and the illusions that shape human lives,” reported PTI.
Earlier this month, Barve had said the response to the film has been encouraging.
"The audience response so far has been extremely encouraging. Festivals like the Third Asian Film Festival and PIFF provide an ideal platform for a film like 'Mayasabha' to connect with discerning viewers. With the theatrical release on 30th January, we are excited to take the film to a much wider audience," he said in a statement.
