It's a sophisticated neo-realist film, beautifully shot and edited to reflect the sense of time and resignation in Indian culture. Oct 9, 2014 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Though at times "Siddharth" can resemble a well-photographed report on India's social and economic ills, Mehta subtly employs different styles to sustain the poetry, poignancy, and drama. Aug 21, 2014 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…
