“Visaranai but it’s by no implies always an art or docu movie, and though fits into to the commercial arena as much as it has thrills, particularly a nail-biting climax, humour, action, a very little painful love storey inside the background, and most of all packed with real-life occurrences that one can relate better,” IndiaGlitz.com said about the movie. Visarnai, according to Twitch Film, is a top-tier documentary on reality, akin to 2012 Cannes favourite Gangs of Wasseypur. “Visaranai is wonderfully filmed, yet there was not much opportunity for beauty,” said The Hindu. The photographs look to be have been grabbed from life’s back alleys.
