"The film is purposeful and powerful and drives home the message in the most convincing manner without taking sides," trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh said in Mumbai.

"'Firaaq' is one of the finest docu-dramas. It is a film for the discerning viewer who likes to go beyond the stereotype," he said, adding that Nandita was a competent story-teller.

Meanwhile, after much drama yesterday about its fate, the film was screened in all but two multiplexes in Gujarat.

"Firaaq has been released in all the multiplexes expect two in Gujarat," Ashok Purohit, owner of City Pulse group of multiplexes, said in Ahmedabad.

It is only not being screened in Wide Angle and City Gold groups of multiplexes who have some problems, he said.

In Delhi, the film got a lukewarm response from the audiences.
