Saibal Chatterjee, NDTV
“As every autistic person is unique, writers have the liberty to set the contours of Tanvi’s character and her journey, but… The mess seems dressed up, very much like Pallavi and Jackie Shroff’s performance.”
Anuj Kumar, The Hindu
“It’s the kind of film which leaves you conflicted. You can be gobsmacked at the enormity of Tanvi’s achievements… And yet you end up rooting for her, and those like her: if she can do it, maybe someone else can too.”

Shubhra Gupta, Indian Express
” When autism isn’t understood too well by people, it does not help to portray Tanvi’s antics as cute or funny (the recent Sitaare Zameen Par had the same problem). The reduction of Tanvi’s symptoms with military training suggests that there is nothing like some discipline and focus to make them like the others.”

“The love for one’s country is presented as the cure for everything.”
