Saibal Chatterjee | NDTV: 3/5 | 6/10

Rediff: 2/5 | 4/10
This movie is a perfect example of a city-bred director scanning our heartlands, and instead of taking in all the complexity, all the denseness, stopping to ask himself, “What are the corrections I can highlight in these lives, and how do I stitch together a narrative around these corrections?” ...
