Trishna engages the potent collisions of the rural and the urban, the poor and the rich, and considers how these interactions unfold in a romance and how they might also destroy it.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
Overview
When her father is killed in a road accident, Trishna's family expect her to provide for them. The rich son of an entrepreneur starts to restlessly pursue her affections, but are his intentions as pure as they seem?

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Fresh
While the film never delves deep enough into its characters' emotions to be truly spellbinding, it's well worth seeing.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Rotten
Winterbottom has complete control of the film's look and feel, but the story seems to run away from him.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten
A rare unsatisfying swerve from an otherwise reliably provocative career.
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
Fresh
"Trishna" works largely on the strength of Winterbottom's clever updates of a century-old story.
Rafer Guzman, Newsday
