Orphaned siblings Pari and Chotu embark on a journey to restore Chotu's eyesight.

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.

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.'

Variety

A slick and engaging Hindi comedy-drama that is equal parts road movie and fairy tale.

Additionally, the movie features diverse soulful tunes and pans across Rajasthan in a really refreshing manner.

Perhaps its simplicity, and otherworldly niceness, is the tonic we need before embarking on bitter battles for creative freedom.

It was overly cocky with the child acting too smug which made it lack its poignancy at times.

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)
