Reception

Critical reception

Gustavo Herrera Taboada from Cinencuentro wrote: "Tayta Shanti has technical aspects to improve, including its limited variety of photographic compositions and some continuity issues in editing. However, like its peculiar soundtrack, it is an ambitious Huancaí production that achieves a harmonious marriage between tradition and modernity, and that ends up spreading its good humor and even better intentions." [7]
