3. Review by Shirley Rodriguez
“Capital I is one of those films where every sentence spoken has meaning”… “Seriously, this is a Must Watch, particularly if surrealism is your thing. I think this may be my first Indian film (Bollywood has never quite appealed) but if this is what’s coming out of India right now, I am SO there.”
– Misty Layne, Rogue Cinema
“Capital I is stellar a case of a talented writer/filmmaker with a clarity of vision and an ability to communicate that vision to his cast and crew in such a way that the talent involved far transcends the film’s meager budget. The film is visually appealing, narratively involving and thought-provoking, and nicely constructed by cast and crew.”
– Richard Propes, The Independent Critic
“10 years from now, this film would be remade and probably then the original would be looked upon. There hasn’t been a cinematic piece in a long time which was driven solely by individualistic expression.”
