Udita Jhunjhunwala Firstpost The drama builds nicely. Dec 6, 2017 Full Review Anupama Chopra Hindustan Times Budhia Singh's story stays with you. The anguish is authentic. Which makes the film worth your time. Rated: 3/5 Dec 6, 2017 Full Review Namrata Joshi The Hindu The best bit about the film is how it looks at these grey zones (right down to the rapaciousness of the real mother) without being judgmental. Dec 6, 2017 Full Review Anna M.M. Vetticad annavetticadgoes2themovies ... [circumvents] uncomfortable questions about the ethics of training a little child so rigorously for marathons, even while making a show of addressing those questions. Rated: 2/5 Jan 11, 2021 Full Review Sukanya Verma Rediff.com From fame to obscurity, hunger to heartbreak, Budhia's story is both sensational and sad. But, most of all, it's incomplete with no finishing line in sight. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 6, 2017 Full Review Nandini Ramnath Scroll.in This sports biopic wants to be black and white, but it's actually a nice shade of grey. Dec 6, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
