Elisabeth Vincentelli New York Times 01/25/2019
Ayr does not offer any tension-releasing catharsis, making his film efficiently disquieting in its own unassuming manner. Go to Full Review
Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter 10/31/2018
Proves the ideal vehicle to explore a wide variety of issues related to gender battles in contemporary Indian society, even while following many of the genre tropes that make police dramas so universally beloved. Go to Full Review
Jay Weissberg Variety 09/10/2018
With an intelligent, subtle script and camerawork so organically natural one doesn't immediately realize that each scene is shot in one take, the film draws on a subject much in the news and spins it into a multilayered yet low-key study... Go to Full Review
Dipankar Sarkar Vague Visages 09/21/2023
Despite being a well-intentioned art house film, Soni somehow fails to create an impressionistic effect and often feels cliched. But what’s commendable is the character treatment by the debutant director, Ayr. Go to Full Review
Saibal Chatterjee NDTV 07/21/2020
4.5/5
The slow-burning drama grabs you from scene one and does not release its grip for a minute. Unmissable. Go to Full Review
Katie Hogan VultureHound 02/03/2020
3/5
As a first feature film, Ayr has created an interesting to start to an on-going conversation, one that needs and should be extended outside one's own country and comfort zone. Go to Full Review

tony h 11/07/2021 Quite an amazing movie, really; Very watchable as it gradually, gently draws you in, gently nudging its message along until the final BIG breakthrough in the end that the dreadful rot so endemic in society has to stop now. See more 09/09/2021 The very realistic approach in this movie gives it a first-hand-account touch to it.... Gives a ray of hope in more ways than one, be it social responsibility of every citizen, being a role model to society, standing up for what is righteous, and moreover, how to control one's emotions....a good movie with its watch... See more 07/25/2021 Slow burn. Anyone who has interacted with the Delhi police can instantly identify with so much of the subtle subtexts the movie is rife with. A bit more tightening could be attempted, but it would take away from the slice of life feel. Definitely a crew to watch out for! See more 01/23/2021 Las actuaciones del reparto son buenas y el tema presentado es interesante; sin embargo, no es muy entretenida o emocionante. See more 12/20/2020 I had high hopes for this movie based on the reviews so I kept watching it... waiting for the magical moment where the pace would pick up. It didn't. This is one of those slow burner, dramas with a very relevant and important theme. However from an entertainment point of view the majority of the film chugged along at a snails pace. Editing was lacking - I was forced to sit through several scenes as we watched the main actress meander through unnecessary unimportant her daily activities. Well acted though. See more 08/19/2020 Brilliant. It shows the realistic version of state of cops in India. It is not easy to be Singham and beat up goons. In the real world Cops need to follow a lot of rules and there are plenty of hindrances and roadblocks for just doing their job right. See more Read all reviews
