Reception

A very mixed review in The Hindu states that No Man's Land "explores the deep realms of human emotions, the narrative treads into subjects that are more dark and sinister as the plot thickens" but adds that this "experimental affair (...) misses the mark". [2] Another review judges that "it belongs to those pretentious and half-baked single-location ideas that got to see the light due to the pandemic." [3]
