Film reviews: 
The Annual camel fair at Pushkar, Rajasthan, attracts thousands of tourists for a five-day period. But there is an undercurrent to the festival, which is overlooked...Poop on Poverty, sheds light on this community. - THE INDIAN EXPRESS It is hard to find a feel good film on poverty that doesn’t overstay its welcome. Filmmaker Vijay Jodha has just managed to touch the issue without dramatising or sermonising. - THE HINDU
