Kalpana Ratings & Reviews
Wall Street Journal
David Mermelstein
So accomplished is the effort -- with tableaux inspired by Sergei Eisenstein and Fritz Lang -- that it's hard to believe this was Shankar's first movie. It was also, sadly for us, his last.
Village Voice
Elizabeth Zimmer
A remarkable accomplishment in any era, this 154-minute film must have staggered viewers when it appeared in 1948.
