Banjo (2016) Movie Review By The Times of India
Riteish essays this brash yet vulnerable character effortlessly, proving that he can hold a film on his own if given the right opportunity. The film’s cinematography is splendid as well. If you are familiar with Mumbai’s working-class neighbourhoods, where the hearts of the poor are bigger than the pay packages of those residing in the mushrooming high-rises, you’ll be able to notice the beauty of Banjo. It also makes you respect the street musicians a little more.

Banjo (2016) Movie Review By NDTV
Rarely does a film press so much noise into service to achieve so little in the end. Heed this warning: don’t get within the earshot of Banjo.

Banjo (2016) Movie Review By Bollywood Hungama
Being an experienced hand in ‘meaningful direction’, he has done a decent job in BANJO. But due to the film’s weak writing and confused narrative, there are places where the film tends to go off-track. On the whole, BANJO fails to strike the right notes on account of its low hype, confused second half and bizarre culmination. At the Box-Office, it will struggle for decent footfalls.

Banjo (2016) Movie Review By Koimoi
Banjo is easily passable. Why would you waste your money to watch Nargis’ acting and Riteish juggling between his Lai Bhaari and rockstar character. Banjo could be termed as the most boring music-based film ever! It is a haphazard film that tests your patience until the end!

Banjo (2016) Movie Review By Hindustan Times
A good musical drama suddenly changes into an average formula tale of a hero with a golden heart, villains who can consider a sudden change of mind, heroine with a knack for dancing and stretched dialogue-baazi. This loosens the noose that was so intelligently set. The second half keeps dragging for no apparent reasons. At one point, you even feel like watching another film in the ABCD franchise. Thankfully, Jadhav realises it in time, and resorts again to the underdog story.

Banjo (2016) Movie Review By Bollywood Life
If Banjo had been made by a lesser-known director, these flaws were forgivable to some extent. But Ravi Jadhav is a man who gave us Natarang and Bal Gandharva, so this mess of a film is inexcusable.Banjo would have been a really good entertainer, if the film had stuck to what the title had promised, instead of straying to other subplots. If you are a Mumbaikar then this is a one time watch for you.

Banjo (2016) Movie Review By SpotBoye
I drove down to see Banjo this evening thinking that it will be a headache and I came out feeling quite sheepish. Ravi Jadhav’s directorial debut in Bollywood is definitely a one-time watch and you are going to be impressed at several points. Play it again? No, some movies don’t have a repeat value— but I repeat that you’ll have fun if you go for Banjo once.

Banjo (2016) Movie Review By GulfNews
Banjo, led by Riteish Deshmukh and Nargis Fakhri, seems to be grappling with an identity crisis. Should it be a formulaic action drama or a feel-good drama about underprivileged musicians living in Mumbai slums seems to be the debate raging in director Ravi Jadhav’s head. While Banjo should ideally have been a showcase for Deshmukh to flex his acting muscles in a solo hero project, this film struck all the wrong notes for me.
