The kindest
Delightfully desi zombie film—probably the first of its kind?—with characters enjoying dosa in the apocalypse, sipping 'chai tea' and joking about the wackiness of having a Hindu wedding in July.Ritesh Mehta, Filmmaker · we gave it 82
The harshest
Almost works. Ironically, it narrowly misses cohesion, and the spark of life, because its premise keeps centering the dead.Siddhant Adlakha, Variety · we gave it 45

No classification board we can read has certified this film. We checked the British and American boards; something that has played festivals and had a limited run often has no certificate anywhere yet. Everything above is what the critics we read happened to mention. That is not the same answer asked the same way every time, and we will not dress it up as one. When a board classifies it, this fills in.

All 3 reviews

A hopeful zombie narrative with more than a few heartwarming moments and just enough quirk to earn its laughs. Menon has crafted a sweet zombie film without ever losing its gruesome edge.
