Indiefilm Collective ★ 10.0

""A haunting debut...makes a profound comment on the human condition." - **Namrata Joshi (Screen International )** "A strikingly original Indian debut. Opens the crevices in which we all hide the vices. A dirty gem! - **Livan Garcia-Duquesne (D Movies)** "Amar Colony heralds the advent of a filmmaker endowed with the ability to see beyond the surface of things and illuminate what lies beneath. A meticulously crafted, hypnotic film that is firm in a deliberate rhythm... - **Saibal Chatterjee (NDTV)** "A satire on mankind. A delicate, rich and unique portrait of an exotic community that in fact represents all of us. -**Selection Jury, Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival** "Storytelling is daring, picturesque and inhabited by characters bursting with life energy. Taboo-breaking in many ways." -**Marina D Richter (Asian Movie Pulse)** "Chauhan should be applauded for his boldness and courage in tackling a topic that is often quietly pushed aside in India." - **Asian Culture Vulture** "The film breaks a new ground in Indian cinema for its sheer uncategorisability. A powerfully understated narrative delving into universal themes of human longing, sadness, desire, and death... " - **UK Asian Film Festival**"
