A serious and sensible debut film by director Parvin Dabas, Sahi Dhande Galat Bande is offbeat and fresh

It's a bit like a pocket dynamite - small, but effective. Give it a shot.

On the whole, SAHI DHANDHE GALAT BANDE is what I would call a topical, socially responsible, thought-provoking cinema. A film that has scope for discussions and debates. It addresses, quite successfully at that, an existing critical issue that the country faces -- the effect of dislodgment of people. A decent watch!

Sahi Dhande Galat Bande is a kind of unique effort. It teases the conscience awake. It's a warm and honest film that looks with unblinking directness at issues which are more relevant now than ever. If Anna Hazare were to see this film he would surely smile.

On the whole, the movie is not a box office spinner and may not be able to create an impact. However, it will make a good DVD watch.

3.0
Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande, on its own merit, blends the moodiness of Yeh Saali Zindagi and visuals of Khosla Ka Ghosla, a film that Parvin acted in but wish had picked a few chops from.

On the whole, Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande is a dull fare with not much novelty. The lack of face value will only add to its tale of woes.
