Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express The three lead players carry the film. Kesav Binoy Kiron adds the right dollop of barely-there smarm to his charm, and when Panigrahi, winsome and knowing, Kusruti, worn and blow-your-socks-off-sexy, are facing off, you can’t take your eyes off either. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 15, 2025 Full Review Udita Jhunjhunwala Scroll.in [Shuchi Talati] wonderfully crafts a film that dwells on girlhood, the mother-daughter relationship and the quiet, personal moments – like dancing alone to a song – when girls can be themselves, unfettered by expectations, rules and gendered power games. Dec 30, 2024 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) It’s typical of the deadpan realism that the India-born and New York-based film-maker Shuchi Talati brings to a movie that sits neatly between Diary of a Teenage Girl and Imitation of Life, and yet is also culturally and painfully specific. Rated: 4/5 Sep 25, 2024 Full Review Lachmi Deb Roy Firstpost Girls Will Be Girls is not a typical love story, it is about how human minds work. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 21, 2025 Full Review Shilajit Mitra The Hindu The screenplay by Talati is subtle and detailed. Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Saibal Chatterjee NDTV No words are spoken but a whole lot is conveyed. Girls Will Be Girls abounds in such moments from beginning to end.

The cinematography beautifully complements the tone of the film, while the direction ensures a seamless balance between drama and subtle humor.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/06/25 Full Review Audience Member Shuchi Talati's Girls Will Be Girls is a very well made story of adolescence driven by a fantastic cast. An important theme of Girls Will Be Girls is sexual awakening portrayed aesthetically with no titilation. A strong aspect is the complex mother and daughter dynamics. Kani Kusruti continuing her brilliant act portrays an over protective mother. Here too she does a superlative job of bringing out the inner turmoil of a mother who is grappling with her own desires while being a controlling mother. Preeti Panigrahi on the other hand also does a very fine job in portraying the vulnerability, defiance and the contradictions a teenager goes through. My full review available in website rigoberthareviews.com Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Abhinav K Most beautiful story i had watched this year till now its january but i think it ends in my top movie list one request from my side don't skip the silences in film,sometimes silence is more important than dialogue. First time you will know the women side on love story and how much they faces in their daily life. We as a man so privilaged its just that no one can beat the suffering of women......!. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review GRIM R I'm not into romantic stories, especially teenage romance and I hate them no matter what, but this movies is one the BEST LOVE STORIES I have seen. People who don't want to see it for being a romantic movie, trust me it's not a regular love story of a girl and a boy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Sharang L It leaves you a tad disturbed for some unknown reason. The female lead is amazing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/21/24 Full Review hasip e Benc bokum gibi film izlemeye değmez. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
