Firmly planted in the lives of three Mumbai nurses in the lower-income part of the city, ‘All We Imagine as Light’ gently claims its place as one of the century’s most romantic films asserting that third world romances are worthy of the big screen.

‘Shahid’ is docu-fiction in feeble form, one that unfortunately limits itself to the prosaic presentations of symbols and signs, and so the film ends rather unfinished and unmoving, on a pulpit on its own. 

‘Simon of the Mountain’ should be an interesting film, given that its subject is rarely explored, but it falters in its execution because what's in the frame is far less interesting than what's not.

‘The Room Next Door’ tries to look for a meaning and purpose, but this unexpectedly turns out to be a theatrical therapy session going in circles.

‘Tale of the Land’ is an ambitious attempt to connect societal issues such as forced displacement and familial trauma. It didn’t stick its landing, though it’s still serviceable.
