ReviewDirector Kishore Moodbidri could have made a better attempt at forging a stronger connection between the flashback and the present in the script.Aravind ShwethaMalgudi Days has a very special place among both cinema and book lovers.

The movie may not be on par with the path-breaking serial, but it has its own interesting elements.
