Namrata Joshi The Hindu 07/18/2018
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. Go to Full Review

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.' Go to Full Review
Joe Leydon Variety 07/08/2016
A slick and engaging Hindi comedy-drama that is equal parts road movie and fairy tale. Go to Full Review
Sakhi Thirani Common Sense Media 03/12/2024
Additionally, the movie features diverse soulful tunes and pans across Rajasthan in a really refreshing manner. Go to Full Review

Anjum K 05/07/2024 It was overly cocky with the child acting too smug which made it lack its poignancy at times. See more 08/02/2020 Es una película muy buena, tiene una linda trama y personajes memorables. See more 05/14/2020 One of the most underrated indian film!!!!! See more 12/25/2017 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) See more 09/01/2016 It is a suspenseful and heart-warming story of a touching and exciting adventure! See more 06/23/2016 Inspiring simple movie with real essense. Must watch with family! Very heart touching and beautiful. See more Read all reviews
