Reception

[edit]

A critic from Screen Daily wrote that "Deliberately paced but hardly sedate, Pedro is a confident feature debut, with Hegde’s decision to forgo score in favour of Shreyank Nanjappa’s subtly enveloping sound design making its regional portrait particularly immersive".[3] A critic from NDTV rated the film four out of five stars and wrote that "Taken in its entirety, Pedro is a quietly searing portrait of isolation, insularity and intolerance couched in the colours of a lush landscape".[4] A critic from Deccan Herald wrote that "Be it life or art, things left unsaid are the most powerful. When a tragedy is left to the imagination of the audience, it keeps haunting them for a long time. This is exactly what Natesh Hegde’s award-winning movie Pedro achieves, with its fine story-telling".[5]
