There isn't much to recommend the film, which only escapes being truly awful by a complete absence of meanness and a compelling lead performance by Dev. Jan 13, 2014 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Painfully awkward in execution, from the stiff dialogue to the time-padding slo-mo sequences and glaring CGI. Jan 10, 2014 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

The many misspellings in the film's subtitles do liven things up, even if the film's patchwork use of Bengali, Swahili, Portuguese and English make them somewhat inevitable. Jan 10, 2014 | Rating: D | Full Review…

One reason "Chander Pahar" seems so plodding is that Mr. Mukherjee has a habit of telling us what he doesn't know how to show. Jan 9, 2014 | Full Review…

Kudos to Kamaleswar for thinking big. He's walking a new path here for Bengali cinema and like Shankar, he's dreamt of uncharted lands he wants to conquer. Dec 13, 2015 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

By trying to stay faithful to the original novel, director and screenwriter Kamaleswar Mukherjee may have sabotaged the film. Much of what happens here is hard to swallow Jan 9, 2014 | Full Review…

The source material ends up shoehorned between splashy images of springboks and hippos, and any gaps are filled with CGI. But when adapting an acclaimed book, it's probably smart to let the plot steal the show. Jan 9, 2014 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…
