Ahaan is an optimistic, feelgood film that genially works towards normalising mental development disabilities and mental health issues.

It is easy to warm up to the actor because not only is there something overwhelmingly charming about him, he is also a man who clearly enjoys acting in front of the camera.

Nikhil Pherwani's debut film dignifies an unacknowledged dream.

It's certainly not a bad film. With sweetness, and uncomplicated arcs, it's all heart. But it's not so difficult to want the heart to tug too and not just coo in admiration.
