| Scroll.inUdita JhunjhunwalaAt times Hichki feels too righteous...Fortunately the story is strongly underlined by the instances of the resourcefulness of the students and the idea that education should not be a one-size-fits-all concept. |
| Gulf News (UAE)Manjusha RadhakrishnanIt's a delight to watch Mukerji play Mathur with a blend of consummate conviction, grace and gravitas. |
| South China Morning PostRichard James HavisMukerji puts in a spirited performance as the Tourette's Syndrome sufferer and makes her constant verbal and physical tics seem natural and uncontrived. |
| Hindustan TimesRohit VatsHichki oscillates between a strong-willed teacher and some kids pushing against the wall...It's well-intentioned and will move you, but it could have been so much more. |
| Film Companion ReviewsAnupama ChopraHichki is a genuinely earnest film made with heart. But it doesn't take enough risks and consequently doesn't touch a raw nerve. |
| Film Companion ReviewsRahul DesaiMukerji's performance, as previously mentioned, is at the mercy of her character - which alternates between being subject and subplot, according to the whims of a greedy two-pronged biopic. |
| User ReviewRavi NFinally a movie that I will look forward watching again. :) Absolutely loved the concept and delivery. Well done to Rani. A perfect choice for Naina's character and acted so well. So much noise, waste of time, money and effort on other films recently. Why dont they make more genuin films like Hichki? So much to learn from, so much to inspire and aspire from and what a great give back to society and the next generation. Well done by creating a wonderful platform. I hope all other Directors & Producers will follow. Fab job Adiya & Rani. So lovely to see Rani on the big screen again. xxxx Amita |

| User ReviewMohit SHichki is worth watching for those who are involved in teaching profession or Education system. But it is 'must-watch' for those who are 'learners' / the students. Its message is clear - if students fail, it is the teachers who are the deeply sorrowful. This failure is not that of exams. It is behaviour of the students. It is not taking taking life's challenges with sporting spirit and fumbles to do something utterly wrong. For teachers, purity of the 'means' / the path / the journey is far more important than the 'ends' / the destination / the results in the school / college exams. |
| User ReviewMirza Mohd SApplaudssss... A must watch..entertaining and emotional with a freshness in the story, sending a good mesage about equality between students and practicality in education system.. |
