Reception
Unni R Nair from Indian Express wrote "Despite all these, there are things that go against the film - it doesn't offer anything spectacular and hence may not attract you to the theatres. And since it is released along with the bigger movies, it may not fare too well at the box-office."[1] Paresh C Palicha from Rediff.com wrote" Banaras could have been a worthwhile experience if it was treated with the seriousness it deserved."[2] Sify.com wrote" The film is at best, is a wasted opportunity. The careless approach and lack of passion ruin its chances, though there are some nice aspects like the music, costumes and a talented cast."[3]
