Reception[edit]
Deepa Gahlot of Rediff.com rated 3/5 stars and observes "Pratik Gandhi once again proves that he is an actor who can bring any character to life with his dedication to his craft and instinctive understanding of what the role requires."[9] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave 2 stars out of 5 and said in his review that "Pratik Gandhi is in nearly every frame of the film - that isn't a bad thing at all - but the maker of the film would have done well to give the supporting actors more to do."[10] Dhaval Roy of The Times of India rated 3/5 stars and stated that "The movie is worth watching for Pratik Gandhi's performance and the gritty portrayal of a common man's struggle against corruption and injustice."[11] Sonal Pandya of Times Now gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and said "While the milieu and narrative in Dedh Bigha Zameen is strong, its execution is wobbly, especially in the acting department. Gandhi carries the film, but it often veers into melodramatic territory."[12] Rahul Desai of Film Companion said in his review that "This film is a modern ode to Bimal Roy’s brand of neo-realism. But Dedh Bigha Zameen is more than half an acre short of its target. It’s so ‘real’ that it’s nearly boring. In fact, its decision to be boring is supposed to be brave.[13]
