Khoya Khoya Chand Reviews (2.5 Ande)

Rediff (3/5)

…This is one of the filmmaker’s most simplistic films, however, where the characters are clearly-delineated but utterly lack subtext. It is a neat love story, conflicted yet obvious, dramatic and basic — not that there’s anything wrong with that…See full review

…Sudhir Mishra’s direction falls short to take this interesting script to great heights. The movie begins with a slow pace and just when you feel that the pace has picked up, it dips yet again. Also the screenplay at times is confusing…See full review

Sify.com (2.5/5)

…It’s Sudhir Mishra, an antithesis of his ruthlessness in Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi.

Times of India 3/5

…The background is perfect, the cinematography is arresting, the music…has a glorious retro tone and the performances…are riveting….the narrative keeps dipping and dipping, leaving the film to hang on as a mere string of montages…See full review
