What critics Are Saying
“It was one of the first independent screenings that I had in a coffee shop in Kolkata and when we projected the film on the shop’s glass entrance, there was a riot outside. There were people watching the film from the outside and we had to set up speakers for them. The audience, including some cops, loved the film and started clapping. It was a crowd pleaser very much like my film Gandu.” - Q
