An expose of the world of Indian celebrity journalism sounds like an interesting subject for a film, and it's to the credit of 'Page 3' that it carries its narrative entertainingly, at least for the first two hours - in... Full review
Succinct expose of high-society shenanigans

Aam Aadmi - imdb.com
Yet again, Madhur Bhandarkar takes you on a ride to the wild side. And a remarkable one it is, literally and figuratively.Mumbai hi-society -- stars and starlets, glam dolls and witch doctors, business tycoons and broker types, yep the whole... Full review
Too compelling yet without propaganda

The first review I saw of Page 3 said "what is madhur bhandarkar finally wants to say?". Should he say something so decisive.The most beautiful thing about Page 3 is it doesn't take sides. No propaganda whatsoever. This is the... Full review
Mumbai high society exposed brilliantly!

AishFan - imdb.com
Page 3 is most definitely a very enthralling and captivating eye-opener that very cleverly exposes the hypocrite lifestyles of Mumbai's elite. From the fake kisses to the plastered smiles, Page 3 leaves no stone unturned in revealing the shocking lives... Full review

Madhur Bhandarkar goes all out to touch upon taboo issues and gives the most realistic picture of the modern society. One gets the impression of the director even from his earlier movies like Satta and Chandni bar. The issues just hinted... Full review

I did not like Chandni Bar from the same director. I did not watch his other movies. They came and went. But Page 3 is nicely made. Seems real. Like Satya from Ram Gopal Varma did. The mental sickness of... Full review

Madhur Bhandarkar can, once again, be credited for designing an author-backed role for an actress and extracting her career-best performance. The exploitation of the protagonist's psyche when she poses for a lingerie commercial is much more efficacious than the commercial (ab)use of bikini babes by most Bollywood filmmakers. ...

After a terrific performance in Madhur Bhandarkar's [who is incidentally RGV protégée] 'Page 3', one expects a bravura performance from Upendra once again as he acts under the guidance of the master director. Good cop of 'Page 3' turns into gangster with 'Shiva' ... Full Review

It would be a very emotional journey, much like Lataji's song 'Kitne ajeeb rishte hain yahan par' typified in 'Page 3'. The characters can be larger-than-life, and yet, straight out of the newspapers. ... Full Review

The editing (Suresh Pai) and the cinematography (Madhu Rao) harmonize the film's superbly....Bhandarkar fills the screen with a conflicting collage of smug thrill-seeking characters.....Page 3 is a fine hardhitting and often jolting film with a climactic corkscrew twist that would shock only those who think the world of illusions....What makes Page 3 so deliciously decisive and many pegs....morgue crime reportage, Bhandarkar redeems his own compromised creativity..... ...
