Critic Reviews for No Fathers in Kashmir

All Critics (11) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (4)

[A] well-meaning but clunky drama.

Wendy Ide
Observer (UK)
It's a film of awful line-readings, badly edited conversations (too many gaps) and, a first for me, a character who even struggles to convince while saying these two words: "Absolutely not."

Kevin Maher
Times (UK)
This is a urgent issue that needs raising, but I have to confess to being restive during this movie: the performances and line-readings were often underpowered.

Peter Bradshaw
Guardian
Sometimes stunning, sometimes stressful and all together sobering view of a situation that [writer-director Ashvin Kumar] seasons with hope.

Ashvin Kumar is gutsy enough to discuss the issues that plague Kashmir under a government that has revved up the nationalist discourse to a fever pitch.

The impact of the quality writing, the steady cinematography and the sharp editing is enhanced significantly by a cast of actors who strike the right notes all the way.

Saibal Chatterjee

This is a skilful depiction of the entangled complexity of this region, explored through the eyes of characters who are easy to identify with.

Rich Cline
Shadows on the Wall
Although the film's message isn't subtle, the ardour behind it is forceful, and the striking landscapes are a bonus.

There's no doubting the filmmakers sincere intent

Chris Hunneysett
Daily Mirror (UK)
This film is worth a viewing and is an interesting take on other films that explore tragedy & war torn areas, we see Kashmir through the eyes of hope, forgiveness, and innocence rather than barbarianism, destroyed lives, and murder. - Allie Loukas, BRWC

Allie Loukas
Battle Royale With Cheese
Ashvin Kumar chooses to mostly put his film as an English language hard-hitter, fails to subdue the lack of subtlety with something that remains in one's memories.
