	Media	Author	Review
		Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter	"A charming romantic comedy (...) Enjoyable as it is, the romance in 7 Days can’t help but feel a bit contrived"
		Elizabeth Weitzman The Wrap	"In these waning days of the pandemic, when some are safe and some are not, Sethi’s glance backwards feels just real enough to leave a prickly imprint."
		Christian Gallichio The Playlist	"Unlike other recent works that directly contend with COVID-19, '7 Days' leads with empathy, crafting a sweet and sincere, if occasionally slim, romance in the process"
		Lisa Kennedy Variety	"[It] goes cleverly, enjoyably about its business teasing Ravi and Rita’s differences and suggesting with wit and patience that their anti-chemistry might just make for the truest kind of connection."
		Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle	"Rom com plays perfectly with the tools Harry and Sally left behind (...) Soni and Viswanathan's easy charm makes a week trapped with them breeze by"
		Mae Abdulbaki Screen Rant	"A charming, tender romcom with great performances (...) '7 Days' is emotionally resonant, sweet, tender, and genuinely funny (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Artemis Lin The Film Stage	"Ultimately what stands out about '7 Days' is its sharply scripted humor and leads’ incredible chemistry (...) A rewarding experience"
		Kate Erbland IndieWire	"Its charm and warmth are classic (...) While some of the film’s later twists feel a touch contrived (...) the good nature of the film keeps them from feeling totally forced."
		Devika Girish The New York Times	"'7 Days' takes a warm, witty look at the kinds of companionship that can emerge even — or especially — in the most unromantic, pragmatic of circumstances."
		Richard Newby AV Club	"A genuine exploration of love and loneliness through the lens of a culture frequently depicted through the lens of traditional values and arranged marriages."
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"It's a clever premise, and this movie spins some sweet comedy out of it (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
