Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Feb 7, 2025
3/5
...a film which takes its time to lay out its wares, demanding your patience, which does get a trifle stretched, but overall rewards you for it. Go to Full Review Udita Jhunjhunwala Livemint Feb 4, 2025
The relaxed narrative pace is a blip in an otherwise satisfying retelling of a classic fable that is equally about outwitting another and surmounting self-imposed impediments. Go to Full Review Mayur Sanap Rediff.com Oct 21, 2026
3/5
Sure, the cultural stereotypes could have been done away with, but you don't mind it because there is a certain warm-heartedness in these scenes. You can't fault the performances either, and all the actors are delightful to watch. Go to Full Review Arpita Sarkar OTTplay Oct 21, 2026

The adaptation is deeply respectful of its source material, daring to add just an extra dollop of sweetness to Ray’s characteristic tartness. Go to Full Review Vineeta Kumar India Today Oct 21, 2026
3.5/5
The Storyteller might appear slow to a generation obsessed with the clickity beat of life, but it's a true leisure to immerse yourself in the non-pacy language of this film. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Prabhathalovesmovies T @RT63593846 Feb 2, 2025 Director Satyajit Ray wasn't just a legendary filmmaker he was also a wonderful writer, his stories hold relevance to even this day. The Storyteller based on a short story of the legendary director looks at the power of stories and the voices which shape them. A major strength of The Storyteller is how director Ananth Madhadevan has crafted the two primary characters played wonderfully by veterans Paresh Rawal and Adil Hussain. The differences between the primary characters aren't just surface level but it is very intrinsic to the plot. The unexcepted friendship and the subsequent events leading to a betrayal has been wonderfully written and enacted. My full review available in website Southfirst See more Read all reviews
