Saibal Chatterjee NDTV A little gem - unpretentious, uncomplicated and utterly delectable. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Prathyush Parasuraman Film Companion This hour-and-a-half film shows the life of a hustling immigrant — a succession of tense moments, with little to no catharsis. Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Anna M.M. Vetticad Firstpost The Illegal reminds us in its own quiet way of the burdens that patriarchy places on men despite being a system perpetuated for the benefit of those very men. That and so much else make this film the little jewel that it is. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 2, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
