Nonetheless, 'Paheli' is admirable as a movie that is suggestive without being didactic.....If the movie falters, it is because it doesn't know....you have a genuinely good movie in regards to its technical palette.....Anupam Kher is good in an understated performance after a long time.....The biggest faux-pas is committed in the atrociously convenient climax..... ...

Making this a light hearted and enjoyable film that doesn't take itself too seriously, alongside the special effects that are used. Set in Rajasthan the whole feel of the film is captured between the realism and fantasy of this folk tale. ... Full Review
