“Sharma’s images are inventive, meticulously composed, luminous and dramatic. They are also ambitious.”
- Woody Sempliner
“The traditions and conservative environment she grew up in are explored in her short film, "Gagan Gaman," where she transports the audience to a world of poignant emotions that resonates universally. Her hometown, Jaipur, is a character in the film, lending a quirky edge to the story.”
-Platform Magazine
“I genuinely appreciated the film. The structure is ambitious, and the layered story-within-a-story handles time and space with imagination and clarity, reminding me at moments of the Kathāsaritsāgara (and Kawad) tradition. I was struck by the surreal tone, the play of wit and riddles, and the way Rajasthani architecture, art, and design elements are woven into the narrative. There’s also something of an Alice in Wonderland spirit in its dream-logic and shifting ground. The woman's inner journey, with her doubts, reflections, and paranoia, gives the film its emotional and psychological depth.”
