PAROMITA VOHRA“Her films allow viewers to experience, both sensually and cerebrally, the ways in which unseen political and historical currents influence their personal lives.”
“In her oeuvre of films, what stands out is a strong authorial voice which is something that Paromita deems crucial to her documentary practice.”
“It makes us laugh at our cultural hang-ups and horrified and angry at the same time.”
“This documentary dares question the media’s relationship with ‘breaking news’”
“The film does more than raise questions about the police censorship and attack on the freedom of choice of young individuals in love, whose actions do not breach public deceny in any way.”
“A sometimes witty film that traverses the gray, black and red landscape of the copyright debate with elan”
“The film gives its viewers an opportunity to understand and contemplate the positions of stakeholders on either side of the copyright debate.”
“Partners in Crime is intricately plotted and braids together several strands.”
Time Out Mumbai
“Partners in crime is informative, witty and, most importantly, open-ended, allowing the audience to form its own opinion on the issue of copyright.”
“Unlimited Girls stands as the inheritor of a long and vociferous tradition of feminist documentary filmmaking in India.”
“The film does not pontificate on feminism, but instead provides its viewers a context for an intelligent discussion about it”
“The epic Unlimited Girls weaves together Paromita Vohra’s personal engagement with feminism, romantic desires, the history of the women’s movement, and the musings of a chatroom persona”
Nandini Ramnath, Time Out Mumbai
“It’s not only an educational film in the sense that we ‘learn’ something but also in the sense that it recommends looking at everything around us in a more analytical manner to catch what we have missed all this”
“It explores gender, class and caste relations in Indian cities by focusing on public toilet.”
Chetana Mahadik, TimeOut Bengaluru
“Q2P provides an eloquent contemplation of the implications of toilet construction, the effects of adopting one development philosophy over another and the limitations of these competing perspectives.”
