Ratings:3.5/5 Review By: Karan Anshuman Site:Mumbai Mirror
Of the 1700 films that were made in the silent era in India, only nine exist today. This number would've been zero, had it not been for one man. That man is PK Nair. And he is the Celluloid Man, India's greatest and perhaps only legit film archivist. Celluloid Man maybe a documentary. But this is only a facade. What it really is, is a film in love with film. Director Shivendra Singh Dungarpur unearths many unimaginable and unheard of facts as he uses PK Nair as an anchor to trace the evolution of cinema and weaves an inspiring story of a one-man army who tasked this endeavor upon himself as he went about collecting and managing over 12,000 film prints until he retired in 1991.
Celluloid Man Movie Review : Karan anshuman

The rating stars cannot do justice to this movie. As this is not a movie. It is a bitter truth about this unique job for which not even those care whose hard work is being take care by this man. Its a story of a man's dedication of his life to an art and a struggle which no one notices and no one cares for.
