[26] [27] Francis Whatley in an interview about the HBO / BBC documentary with Michael Bonner in The Uncut describes Valentine's Day as "Indrani's video. It is compelling. I think she captured something about him – and the story around how she did it is quite interesting...She had to draw out of him that he was singing about a killer." [28]

Pal-Chaudhuri's work has been published in over 30 books and shown in over 20 exhibitions, [29] and her portrait of Beyonce is on permanent exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C.

The film reminds viewers of the magic and mysteries of the creatures of the sea, and is a plea for sustainability of the oceans. [45]

Pal-Chaudhuri directed numerous music videos including Alicia Keys' "New Day" described as "bold and high-energy" by Jenna Rubenstein for MTV, [46] as well as music videos for Mariah Carey, Bon Jovi, and Mary J.

"It is the climax that is truly brilliant -- one that earned the film a consideration for the Live Action Short Film shortlist for the 93rd Academy Awards...Are we all striving to achieve 'greatness' by holding our authentic self hostage? This is the haunting question that Pal-Chaudhuri leaves her viewers with," according to Prerna Mittra of The Indian Express. [51]
