It wouldn't be wise to not mention Swing Vote, the film that I believe inspired Mandela. I would have been upset had they tried to replicate the film directly. However, Madonne Ashwin gives us a breathtaking and intricate film. Mandela is Yogi Babu's shining glory. It's a phenomenal entertainer. It lives to make you laugh. A majority of the scenes are designed to make you giggle, guffaw, chuckle or even smirk.
The surprise package of the film is Yogi Babu. I expected almost nothing from this film and throughout this almost 135-minute, I was constantly telling myself how good it really is. Mandela is political satire at its sharpest. Something Manivannan would do with gusto. It's great to see such smart films in an era of stupid remakes.
