Wendy Ide Screen International 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. Dec 8, 2021 Full Review Siddhant Adlakha indieWire 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. Rated: B Sep 16, 2021 Full Review Aparita Bhandari Globe and Mail 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. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 16, 2021 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse “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. Rated: 7 Jan 2, 2023 Full Review Anna M.M. Vetticad Firstpost 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. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 8, 2022 Full Review Zehra Phelan HeyUGuys A stark and engaging exploration of the binds of violence across the generations. Rated: 3/5 Dec 20, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Saad A 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
