Moving, till it descends into the clichés of the rape revenge genre ... Full Review

Namrata Joshi | The Hindu: - | 4/10
The film fails to rise above the claptrap. Ajji is no more than Mom and Maatr at their most excessive; it just locates the same rape narrative at the other end of the social spectrum ... Full Review

Fionnuala Halligan | Screen International: - | 7/10
Direct and effective, Ajji finds the lurid line between child rape drama and genre revenge thriller and walks it steadily through to a satisfyingly gruesome conclusion ... Full Review

Reuters: - | 7/10
For all its flaws, this is a welcome break from the other sanitised rape-revenge dramas we've seen this year in the form of Maatr and Mom, and one that doesn't flinch at the brutal nature of its subject ... Full Review

This is a film that’s frequently well-directed but has trouble reigning itself ... Full Review

Nandini Ramnath | Scroll: - | 4/10
Outrage over the rape of children is easily provoked, but it takes hard work to make a movie about the justice that is due to them. Ajji takes the easy way out ... Full Review

A beautiful and thrilling execution of an appalling story ... Full Review

Movie Talkies: 4/5 | 8/10
Ajji is dark, brutal, cynical and traumatic. The cinematographer deserves a pat on the back for highlighting the dark and dingy underbelly of Mumbai- the claustrophobic slums, the open gutters, the sinister construction site ... Full Review

Ajji makes for bleak and gritty viewing, but it is essential ... Full Review
