Wendy Ide Screen International 12/08/2021
It's a narrative which... has played out many times before in many locations. But the world of Nithin Lukose's feature debut is vividly realised, captured with a savage and relentless beauty. Go to Full Review Siddhant Adlakha IndieWire 09/16/2021

Generational violence is rarely presented on-screen, but its specter permeates even the most fun and upbeat conversations. It feels inevitable, and Lukose zeroes in on the spiritual toll it extracts. Go to Full Review Aparita Bhandari Globe and Mail 09/16/2021
2.5/4
Within India's multilingual cinematic universe, Malayalam cinema has long established its own narrative. Despite its occasional disjointedness, Nithin Lukose's debut feature is a worthy addition to that tradition. Go to Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse 01/02/2023

“Paka” is a great debut that manages to make its comments in a way that is contextually rich, visually captivating and entertaining at the same time. Go to Full Review Anna M.M. Vetticad Firstpost 07/08/2022
3.5/5
Despite the spate of murders during its running time, Paka rarely splashes blood across the screen... The film is also astonishingly quiet. So quiet that its calm demeanour is terrifying. Go to Full Review Zehra Phelan HeyUGuys 12/20/2021
3/5
A stark and engaging exploration of the binds of violence across the generations. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Fexiously x Apr 2 If you are hasetating to watch this movie, please think twice… no wait think four times. It looks like it came straight of the adventure river from Avonturen park Hellendoorn, so bad is this movie lol See more Saad A 12/14/2024 I hate my life; yes, I really do, after watching such a movie. I mean, how cruel can the director be to ruin my life and the lives of the people who watched such a disgrace to the film industry? I wanted to be blind, as well as deaf at the same time. Anyone who gave this movie a good review is definitely an alien. I wish there were no stars to give. See more Read all reviews
