Reception[]
Ek Hazarachi Note critical acclaim The Times of India gave 3 stars (out of 5) saying that Keeping every minute detail of the story intact, Shrihari has struck gold with his first film. The cinematography is classy and the background score helps magnifying the beaty of every scene and emotion on the actors’ faces. But the ace in the pack is Usha Naik whose mind-blowing performance is sure to evoke sympathy for her character in the viewers’ minds. Sandeep Pathak too delivers with excellence and it is good to see him moving away from his stereotyped comic roles.[5] Sankhayan Ghosh of Indian Express wrote that “In the film, rather than the protagonist taking drastic decisions, things happen to her. Indian rural society is passive and people in power control their lives. I found it challenging to tell the story of a passive protagonist,” [6]
