Baradwaj Rangan | Film Companion: - | 6/10
Meel Patthar is more of a sigh, set at the other end of life. If the texture of the earlier film was hard-bitten journalistic prose, there’s more than a dash of poetry here. ... Full Review

The Upcoming: 4/5 | 8/10
The sheer relentlessness of its turmoil means the film suffers on an emotional level, its bleak tone as unchanging as the roads. But as an exposé of the harsh underbelly of modern labour, Milestone is unshakeable ... Full Review
Anna MM Vetticad | FirstPost: 4/5 | 8/10
Meel Patthar is teeming with reflections on the new order that will eventually replace the old, the people we ignore until their suffering disturbs our comfortable status quo, despair, fear and the possibilities that open up when we simply let go ... Full Review

Harsh and humane, Ivan Ayr's film richly mines inner desolation ... Full Review
Live Mint: - | 5/10
It's commendable that Milestone doesn’t take its slow burn in the direction of violence—something all too common in Indian cinema. Still, the film’s heaviness holds it back ... Full Review

Just for Movie Freaks: 3.5/5 | 7/10
Milestone (Meel Patthar) is slow, unconventional, and might not have that rewatchability factor, but it is brilliant in its own way ... Full Review
PinkVilla: 2.5/5 | 5/10
However, the measured pace of Milestone does not paint a 'happy road trip' but delves into one man's lonely journey. And that is why, the film may not be everyone's cup of tea ... Full Review
National Herald India: - | 8/10
Though very different in their narrative trajectories, there is a lot that is similar in 'Milestone' and 'Nomadland'. They are like profound companion pieces on lives on the move ... Full Review

The Review Geek: - | 6/10
Ghalib’s character is certainly enough to gravitate toward, but all the other supporting players fall by the wayside. Despite that, if you’re in the mood for a slow-paced road trip movie, Milestone does a decent job showing the highs and lows of being a truck driver in India ... Full Review
Latestly: 3.5/5 | 7/10
