There is nothing obscure or over-stylized about this characteristic work by Mr. Ray. It is another of his beautifully fashioned and emotionally balanced contemplations of change in the thinking, the customs and the manners of the Indian middle-class.
Bosley Crowther, New York Times

One of the most rewarding screen experiences of our time. I warmly encourage you to see it.

There are so many ways in which Ray is entitled to demand respect that I felt absolutely naughty wanting something to happen quickly.
