3.5/5
Ship of Theseus undoubtedly marks the arrival of an important talent in Indian cinema. Go to Full Review Megan Lehmann The Hollywood Reporter 01/09/2017
It's an ambitious outing for a first-time feature and, despite some unadventurous editing and an occasionally too-talky script, young playwright-turned-filmmaker Anand Gandhi should be commended for his commitment to intellectual truth-seeking.

4.5/5
It is by far the most original, the most poignantly realised, the most thought-provoking film that I have seen in longer than I care to remember. Go to Full Review Anna M.M. Vetticad annavetticadgoes2themovies 01/15/2023
4.5/5
That a story with such profound philosophical underpinnings could lead to a film so simple, so small, so unpretentious, so sweet and yet... so endearing, so entertaining, so humorous and so intriguing would be inconceivable to most. But it is… all this. Go to Full Review Kanishk Devgan Film Companion 03/29/2021
Anand Gandhi's art film, told through three stories that explore the paradox of the same title as the film, interprets the question on several levels, relating it to humanity and the nature of being. It's a delicate, powerful film that belongs up there. Go to Full Review Siddhant Adlakha The Juggernaut 12/19/2019
It's a dialogue-heavy film, one where opposing ideologies come into contact in a multitude of tongues, but it's one where writer-director Gandhi and cinematographer Pankaj Kumar turn each widescreen frame into thought-provoking tableaus. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

05/31/2020 An anthology about three very different people, in the city of Bombay. This is not what the movie was supposed to be. The creators wanted a connecting theme but these stories were not connected. The end scene was a very hard attempt at connecting these, but that only made the whole story feel incomplete. The first vignette is about a very rude, ungrateful woman who lost her eyesight and still struggles with Photography, only to totally change and become even more ungrateful after the operation. The second vignette then suddenly takes a very spiritual turn. The young lawyer's character was forced, as even though he was captivating his comments did not create the difference. The third vignette runs around the malpractices in the lower strata of society, and for some reason includes a scene in Stockholm. A lot of money could have been saved there and spent elsewhere to make the film better. All that said, as individual vignettes these were all fine subjectively and hence my star rating.

See more 09/12/2019 Visually fine and performing, the delightful film 'Ship of Theseus' is not only an easy triumph of Aanand Gandhi, it is also a touching triumph of vision. This is easily the kind of film where you submit to the vision and the visuals. See more nefasto r @Nefasto 02/11/2018 A film that will make you think.

See more 06/24/2016 84% Saw this on 24/6/16 Though the story of the blind girl is broing, lacking emotional depth, the other two stories that followed had a lot of moral ambiguity in it, wherein the characters experience situations that alter and affect their ethics and morality. For those who are willing to show some patience with this film, it can be ultimately rewarding to an extend. See more Read all reviews
