This is one the best movies that I have seen in the recent times. The movie is a fresh, feel-good movie which captures the essence of pseudo-modern rural India. It has a broad spectrum of human emotions - love, jealousy, naivety,... Full review

Ila Arun is perfectly cast and Divya Dutta is brilliant in a small role as the tomboyish and modern girl. Amrita Rao is gracefully restrained - a far cry from her whimpering ways in mainstream masalas, she gracefully gets under the skin of the naive, unsure Kamla. ... Full Review

Setting his story in fictional Sajjanpur, steeped in illiteracy and without contemporary communications, he weaves a comic satire that may disappoint diehard Benegal arthouse addicts accustomed to his impassioned critique of the social order.
