Panga has been directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari. The film, which also features Neena Gupta, Richa Chadha and Jassie Gill, opened to pretty good reviews on Friday. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee reviewed the film for NDTV and wrote: “Panga does not ever strain credulity even when one might feel that it could have done with a little more momentum.”
