Well known film reviewer and critic Vishal Sharma's views on Niraj Sah's acting in the film Haal E Kangaal (The Bankrupts):-
"Ramchandra P N’s conversation driven cinema has natural performances coming from Hemant Mahaur and Niraj Sah.................Niraj Sah who initially teases with a play full picture of a man who has traveled the world and had those surreal sexual escapades, gradually gets stronger as he probes his filmmaker friend on the ‘authenticity’ of his script ‘Maternity Leave’."
