• Praise: Critics lauded Sanskruti Balgude’s powerful, uninhibited performance as Apsa, calling it a breakthrough role. The cinematography (Sanjay Jadhav) capturing the rustic landscapes was also appreciated. The film’s raw, unpolished treatment was seen as a strength.
• Criticism: Some reviewers found the pacing uneven, especially in the second half. The plot was occasionally compared unfavorably to Sairat (2016), which had set a high bar for tragic rural romances. A few critics felt the supporting characters were underdeveloped.

B. The City of Bombay:

The film captures the essence of 1980s Bombay beautifully. Unlike the glossy, modern Mumbai seen in most films, Kaccha Limbu showcases the cramped chawls, the crowded local trains, and the gritty reality of the working class. The city acts as a silent antagonist, boxing the characters into their limited destinies. kaccha limbu 2017
