Dear Maya
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...is a happy film about innocence, love and compassion. There’s no hard-hitting drama. Just a pleasant film with lots of love and genre fluff. A good film for those who believe in being hopelessly romantic.
-
...is a surprisingly satisfactory watch, mainly for the winsome performances and Bhatnagar's ability to deliver an immersive experience.
-
...the movie belongs to Manisha Koirala who owns Maya with her grace, gaze, poise and that infectious smile that made her one of the most photogenic actress of the 90's.
-
Watching the mild-mannered actress return to screen after a personally difficult time resonates with the headway she makes as Maya.
-
...does not deliver conventional entertainment nor does it favour high drama. If anything, the film's even pitching proves that Sunaina Bhatnagar does not mind taking risks. And that is just the sort of filmmaker that Bollywood needs many more of.
-
She (Manisha Koirala) makes it worth a watch.
-
Director Sunaina Bhatnagar had a noble vision: to capture the drama and debiliation of negotiating the teenage years. And while she manages to a certain extent, her naive, one-dimmensional characters fail to engage and subsequently interest one in the proceedings which seem to drag on endlessly.
-
...is watchable for its unusual storyline but don't expect it to be extraordinary considering its graph built by the director, till the interval.
-
There is too much plot exposition, too many sequences are allowed to ramble on, and some of the dialogue verbalises feelings that are glaringly apparent. The movie is ultimately about hope, and Bhatnagar supplies too much of it.
-
...does have some sweet moments but the film vacillates from interesting to ghastly so often you wonder if this movie was made by a committee.
-
It’s a brilliant story poorly told, literally, but portrayed with finesse.
-
Her affecting presence that showcases Maya's vulnerability makes you glad that she's back. But even Koirala can't salvage this cloying affair.
