Koimoi: 4.5/5 | 9/10
Despite an adrenaline-breaker towards the end, Ray is still probably the best thing to come out of India’s OTT space. A must watch for those who haven’t followed Satyajit Ray as well. This serves as bait to invite people to the ethereal world of Ray! ... Full Review

Mid-Day: 3/5 | 6/10
That’s the thing about the insatiable Ray, isn’t it? Seems like he had multiple lifetimes. At any rate his works do, as you can tell, from this smartly inspired collection as well. Can’t complain ... Full Review

Ray is an amalgamation of crazy ideas and an unusual life given to the legendary filmmaker's work. It is reimagined for the modern-day audience which may not please die-hard fans of Ray's work. In that case, they must stay away. However, if you're not, then binge away ... Full Review
