Though sincere and noble and almost reverentially filmed, Khoya Khoya Chand ends up too long, and alas, too boring. Somebody please teach Soha Ali Khan on how to act, as she fails miserably, but Shiney Ahuja shines. The film belongs to... Full review

With Khoya Khoya Chand, director Sudhir Mishra sets up the premise for what could have been a gripping story of thwarted love and ambition. Because, unfortunately inspite of the promise in its storyline and some neat production values, Khoya Khoya Chand is a strangely sterile love story. ... Full Review

However, 'Thirakatha' is on the whole a touching screenplay that weaves in myriad characters with the appropriate dose of irony. While Prithviraj, Samvrutha and Anoop play their roles very well, National Award winning actress Priyamani as Malavika steals the show, underplaying the tragedienne to perfection. ... Full Review

But the real fire-cracker to watch out for in this film is newcomer, Soniya Jehan, the grand-daughter of none other than Mallika-e-Tarannum, Noor Jehan. Quite interestingly, this film abandons the ariel or pan angle shots that are so characteristic of today's films where a lot has to be crammed into three hours and instead chooses film-noir style low or oblique angle shots and close-ups which were characteristic of those times. ...
