The moving performance by Usha Naik in the lead role accentuates the deeply humanistic qualities of this film that has received awards at numerous festivals.

New York Times

Its conclusion, harrowing, humorous and arguably unfortunate, only reinforces the idea that the unsophisticated country people are better off as they were.

Sathe's intentions are noble, and his film is not without its moments, but it loses force as it proceeds, until it pretty much fizzles out completely.

Film Journal International

Deceptively simple, but building to devastating twists, 1000 Rupee Note marks an impressive debut for director and editor Shrihari Sathe.

Tão singelo quanto emocionante, rústico e realisticamente perfeito, adoro esses filmes indiano que mostram a cultura, sinto um certo incomodo dos indianos comerem no chão, é bem estranho para nós ocidentais...
