Carla the Filmi Geek's review: www.filmigeek.com/2014/09/finding-fanny-2014.htmloldsaratogaguy's comment on it in the upcoming films thread: No longer "upcoming" as it released today (12 September) . Only five folks at the first showing at Crossgates Mall, Albany, NY, but two of them were non-Indian ladies who kind of wandered in because the film they came to see had changed show times. Had a chance to talk to them afterwards and they were really impressed with the story and the acting. It's a bit off-center compared to your average Bollywood blockbuster, but a good plot, excellent acting from all five leads, and some wonderful exterior photography. I give it a 4+ out of 5. Thank you for letting us know, sir!

Carla's review says it much better than I could, so I'll just say that this is a very worthwhile film to get out and see. Great performances, much oddness without disappearing up itself, and very different to anything else around. It's not perfect and you might find yourself momentarily disconcerted at the absence of the usual "no animals were harmed in the making of this film" notice, but a lovely piece of movie making.

BoxOfficeIndia says it earned 23.5 crore in its first week. They predict it will finish with less than 30. They are calling it a Flop (but not the worst of Flops, much less a Disaster).
Koimoi says it is over 30 crore already, after 8 days.
