Oct 2, 2024 Full Review Rahul Desai Film Companion Shot in the narrative language of a documentary... Oct 2, 2024 Full Review Ishita Sengupta The Indian Express Set in Madhopur village near Darbhanga in Bihar, Achal Mishra’s debut feature, Gamak Ghar is divided into three time periods — 1998, 2010 and 2019 — and begins with the initiation ceremony of a child. Rated: 4/4 Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Siddhant Adlakha The Juggernaut The film evokes more than it tells, and it feels like a dream in the process. It stands shoulder to shoulder with the reflective works of arthouse greats like Ozu, or perhaps Weerasethakul, though it's entirely Indian in its conception of home and family. Dec 23, 2020 Full Review Soham Gadre Film Inquiry Achal Mishra uses nostalgia in an effectively artful way in Gamak Ghar, building a densely layered and brilliantly realized portrait of cultural erosion.
