| Most Promising Newcomer Male (Vinod Sharawat) |
| Reviews |
| 'Gafla' takes us deep into the bowels of what goes on in the mysterious world of those who make (and lose) money. - 'THE SUNDAY NEWSLINE' |
| 'Gafla' captures the nuances of the market and his (the protagonist's) climb is gripping. - 'MID-DAY' |
| The director displays a flair for using street side locations, has a sense for scripting, and extracts first-rate performance from Vinod Sharawat. - 'DNA' |
| The title, which means 'scam', is the watchword of this movie from India that might shape up as the 'Wall Street' of the globalised 21st century. - PETER BRADSHAW, 'THE GUARDIAN' |
| Gripping and incisive 'Gafla' examines the ethics and morality of this Machiavellian world defined by its winners and losers. Hanchate draws compelling performances from a largely unknown cast in this daring debut feature. - CARY SAWHNEY, 'THE TIMES BFI LONDON FILM FESTIVAL' |
