Feminist icon Gloria Steinem praised the film for being inspired by "real life" during an online conversation. He said, 'India is my second home. I lived there for two years after college. We (USA and India) are the two largest, most diverse democracies in the world. We need each other, and need to learn from each other."

 

Variety called the film an "encouraging, inspiring tribute to India's journalism pride". The Hollywood Reporter wrote in its review, "The film's sense of intimacy and urgency makes viewers feel like they're reporting on the ground with journalists themselves." The Washington Post called it "the most inspiring journalism film of all time".
