Towards the end of the film, when one character exclaims, 'What a crazy case!' your sentiments feel validated, observes Mayur Sanap.

With the kind of money and talent that has gone into making this movie, a really good biopic of a personality like Savarkar could be made. But this film is lost in polemics, as is the case with almost every biopic and period drama today, observes Utkarsh Mishra.

Like the countless other things that were made possible online by the deadly coronavirus, Connect adds demonic possession and exorcism to the list, observes S Saraswathi.

I liked how the film finds excitement in Mahendra and Mahima's dull lives and transforms their humdrum existence into an ode to second chances, notes Sukanya Verma.
