	Media	Author	Review
		Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"An enjoyable, thoughtful comedy about dying, freedom and family ties."
		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"The filmmakers make the most of a tiny budget here (...) Behl is a wry delight as Vimla"
		Leslie Felperin The Guardian	"Smart, spellbinding and achingly relatable (...) The concept may sound schmaltzy but Bhutiani and his cast have a delicacy of touch that keeps it from getting too gooey (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Kevin Maher The Times	"A dextrous Indian drama (...) replete with wry humour, cheeky visual gags and an obsession with the paradox of celebrating life on the edge of death (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Trevor Johnston Time Out	"A heart-warming dram (...) A leisurely, wise and ultimately affecting meditation on the benefits of letting go (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
