Critic Reviews

V.A. Musetto

An old-fashioned soaper that will please or not, depending on a viewer's tolerance for schmaltz. Read full review

Kirk Honeycutt

While the film sometimes plays like an hour TV medical drama padded to reach feature length, Sawant achieves touching, naturalistic performances from a fine ensemble cast. Read full review

Dana Stevens

Ben Kenigsberg

Takes a potential hot-button premise--the callous indifference of the Indian medical bureaucracy toward the lower classes--and dramatizes it in the most shameless way possible. Read full review
