The Times of India

The film achieves its target and makes you feel for the plight of Ammu. But despite its relevant story, the film could have been crisper, more engaging, more mature and less predictable.

Rated: 2.5/5

Although movies about pressing social issues often take escapist exit routes, Ammu pays more attention than the rest to the harrowing journeys needed to reach the light.

Look the movie has a predictable storyline ending, but it effectively conveys the pain and struggles of domestic violence survivors, as well as the difficulties of accessing support. In most Indian media, women's pain and their roles as wives are often trivialised. This film powerfully addresses these issues, reaching a broad audience. Definitely worth a watch if you something with depth.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
