- The Hollywood Reporter: Praised the film for its "gripping realism and the extraordinary performative courage of its young leads."
- Variety: Noted that Eka "continues the tradition of Georgian cinema’s unflinching eye on social decay, rivaling the works of the Dardenne brothers."
- Cineuropa: Described the film as "a painful, beautiful scream against the silence imposed on women."
The film follows the journey of Eka Sindoori, an intersex woman played by Rehana Fathima, and her friend Laila (or Ayisha), played by Anupama. The two embark on a motorcycle journey across three Indian states, a journey that serves as a backdrop for exploring "body politics" and the lack of social acceptance for the LGBTQ+ community in India. eka movie 2018 new
