ColliderChase HutchinsonMar 31, 2022
Even as it eventually loses steam on the way towards a rushed conclusion, the film’s prevailing charm and characters shine through such struggles. Read full review

RogerEbert.comNick AllenMar 25, 2022
7 Days has an overall sweetness that keeps it charismatic for its 85-minute runtime, with an agile directorial eye that makes sure the back-and-forth scenes of them talking have enough life in them. Read full review

IndieWireKate ErblandMar 24, 2022
7 Days is a film about a lot of things — matchmaking, familial expectations, being your best self, opening your heart — but it’s also about a strange, horrible time in all of our lives and how it changed us. In the minimum of time, Sethi and his cast give that a truly honest go. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinMar 24, 2022
Despite occasional dips in energy that usually coincide with the root-worthy characters’ own flailing moments, 7 Days remains a buoyant and involving jaunt. Read full review

Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerMar 24, 2022
Just because 7 Days knows the beats of the classic rom-com, that doesn’t make it a cover version. Instead, it’s a delightfully new riff, one filled with cultural specificities and timeliness. Read full review

The New York TimesDevika GirishMar 24, 2022
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. Read full review

The A.V. ClubTodd GilchristMar 23, 2022
As a romantic comedy, 7 Days hardly circumvents a cinematic lexicon of time-honored tropes, but its skill in dismantling stereotypes, sexist beliefs, and even the process of falling in love offers a fresh and charming rejoinder to the cynicism of both its own genre and the emerging repetition of pandemic-set films.

Movie NationRoger MooreMar 21, 2022
The complications in each character’s lives are funny, wholly believable and just nasty enough to rule out any second date as this never-ending first one staggers on and on, towards an ending we may see coming, but not without a few serious twists to navigate along the way. Read full review

Paste MagazineChloe WalkerOct 18, 2021
As far as COVID movies go, 7 Days is certainly in the top tier of that still nascent subgenre—whether that’ll be true this time next year, we’ll have to wait and see. Read full review

In the future, audiences may tire of movies about COVID-19. For the moment, however, 7 Days arrives as a funny, modest charmer. Read full review

The Film StageArtemis LinJun 27, 2021
Ultimately what stands out about 7 Days is its sharply scripted humor and leads’ incredible chemistry. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterLovia GyarkyeJun 18, 2021
This premise — of two people with divergent personalities potentially falling in love — is not new, but 7 Days satisfyingly freshens up a stale formula, thanks in large part to the lead performances. Read full review

The PlaylistChristian GallichioJun 18, 2021
While 7 Days occasionally goes too broad in juxtaposing Ravi and Rita, sometimes pitting them as ideological binaries instead of fully realized characters capable of vacillating in ideas, the film more often than not allows them to develop and shift as they get to know each other. Read full review

Screen RantMae AbdulbakiJun 18, 2021
7 Days is emotionally resonant, sweet, tender, and genuinely funny. Read full review

TheWrapElizabeth WeitzmanJun 18, 2021
In some ways, Soni has the hardest job here: He’s got to make the rigidly old-fashioned, obsessively uptight Ravi likable enough that we want to see him end up with an independent woman. But Viswanathan has some hurdles too, and they wind up being tougher to overcome. Read full review

Film ThreatAlex SavelievJun 18, 2021
Under the guise of a straightforward love story, Sethi’s film reveals itself to be an incisive look into the long-running Indian tradition of arranged marriages and its implications, set against the backdrop of a rapidly spreading COVID-19. If that sounds heavy, it’s anything but, the writer-director ensuring that things don’t get bogged down in ponderous polemic or pretentiousness. Read full review
