Namrata Joshi The Hindu Be it the anger, wit and intrinsic sense of fun in Chhotu or the sincerity and gravitas beyond her years in Pari, Kukunoor manages to extract great work out of the two without any touch of artificiality, effort or righteousness. Jul 18, 2018 Full Review Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express The other problem, and this is the bigger one, is exotic Rajasthan being peddled in the name of naturalism - the 'leheriya safas' are too pristine, the clothes are too 'costumey.' Rated: 2/5 Dec 8, 2017 Full Review Joe Leydon Variety A slick and engaging Hindi comedy-drama that is equal parts road movie and fairy tale. Jul 8, 2016 Full Review Sakhi Thirani Common Sense Media Additionally, the movie features diverse soulful tunes and pans across Rajasthan in a really refreshing manner. Mar 12, 2024 Full Review Anna M.M. Vetticad annavetticadgoes2themovies ...a reminder of the best that [Nagesh Kukunoor] can be. Rated: 3/5 Jan 16, 2021 Full Review Rahul Desai CatchNews Perhaps its simplicity, and otherworldly niceness, is the tonic we need before embarking on bitter battles for creative freedom.

Anjum K It was overly cocky with the child acting too smug which made it lack its poignancy at times. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/07/24 Full Review Audience Member Es una película muy buena, tiene una linda trama y personajes memorables. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the most underrated indian film!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Rare to see a heartwarming beautifully shot, family friendly movie with great actors that don't have to be a big bollywood name. This is what movie making is all about and massive credit to those who worked on such a lovely watch. More movies like this need to be made! I'm so surprised this hasn't gained more publicity! Although I'm sure the industry puts that down to the fact the actors aren't well known, such a shame when the cast were all brilliant! It may not be your favourite movie of all time but it will be up there as a stand out and one you can watch with all the family (very rare nowadays) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member It is a suspenseful and heart-warming story of a touching and exciting adventure! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Inspiring simple movie with real essense. Must watch with family! Very heart touching and beautiful.
