India release date: Nov 10, 2023
Genre: war film
Language: Hindi
Duration: 2 hours, 19 mins
“A good war film takes you up close to the sights and smells of battle, to the point where you flinch when bullets hit bodies. In this Ishaan Khatter film, what’s meant to exude menace, comes off more like a caricature.”
Rating: 2 stars | Full review
Shubhra Gupta, Indian Express
“A war movie that steers clear of many of the tropes that Bollywood employs often to the detriment of the genre… A war film that refrains from a frontal attack on our senses and eardrums.”
Rating: 3 stars | Full review
Saibal Chatterjee, NDTV
“The staging is the biggest failing of Pippa. There is very little senses of rhythm, timing, or cultural balance.”
Rahul Desai, Film Companion
