Our take

A charming slice-of-life drama, Barah Aana offers a sharp comment on how ordinary people change under challenging circumstances. Brilliant performances by some of the finest contemporary actors—Naseeruddin Shah, Vijay Raaz, Arjun Mathur, Tannishtha Chatterjee—make this film an engaging watch.
