Quotes
Another film critic
Film critic who posted a reaction to Gandhari.
“#Gandhari STARTS OFF on a BRILLIANT NOTE, and also maintains the grip in the first hour, but post the happenings, ends up as a ROUTINE and a MEDIOCRE thriller. #TaapseePannu delivers a strong performance, layered with emotions and superb screen presence.”
