4.0/5
Mondo Meyer Upakhyan by David Stratton · Variety · 20 Oct 2026
“A sweet, gently ironic story of a village prostitute’s daughter who wants an education instead of her mother’s life. Variety says it captures the dark side of Bengali village life beautifully without preaching.”

4.0/5
Bariwali by David Stratton · Variety · 6 Mar 2000
“A slowly paced but deeply moving drama about a lonely woman in an old country house and the film crew that exploits her. Variety compares it to Satyajit Ray and says only its length limits its reach.”

2.5/5
The Wrestlers by David Stratton · Variety · 5 Sep 2000
“An intriguing but alienating, highly stylised look at how Hindu fundamentalism touches a peaceful Bengali backwater, built around two wrestlers at a railway crossing. Variety finds it hard going for audiences, especially Western ones.”

Shelter of the Wings by David Stratton · Variety · 28 Feb 1994
“A gentle, deceptively simple Bengali film about a bird catcher who cannot bear to cage his birds and the strain this puts on his marriage. Variety finds its vision refreshingly different and says it deserves festival exposure.”
