Since the characters are real, the impact becomes stronger. The struggle, pain and instances from Lata's life are so real that one doesn't mind minor glitches in dubbing and cinematography. Surprisingly, Lata and all other cast have done a convincing job playing and re-living the same emotions on the screen. The film will have a deep impact on the audience and it is a must-watch for those who want to know about the inspiring woman Lata Bhagwan Kare".[1]
