A brilliant tale of human life (and death)
Review by: hindustantimes
Critic ReviewRating: 8.0 / 10
In the end, rather than being about the heavy religious stuff, it is about universal human drama. As a father and son reconcile, it is near heart-breaking. As an old man and his grandaughter sneak out for bhang, it tells you that the most devout have mischief in them. Bhutiani gives death its due dignity, and yet retains its objectivity and subtlety. It makes you laugh, and cry, and think and question. It’s what good cinema and storytelling are meant to do.
If in-your-face Bollywood blockbusters have bored you to death, Mukti Bhawan is your salvation.

Critic ReviewRating: 7.0 / 10
The plot is too skimpy and with its languid pacing, the movie eventually seems a bit indulgent. The filmmaker’s exposure to slow, contemplative festival films becomes apparent. But the unassuming characters and the humour make it a delightful watch.
