== Reception ==<br />
A critic from ''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote that "'The Outhouse' is an example of what intelligent cinema ought to be. The note of authenticity, the sensitive handling of a theme as delicate as marital violence and the extraordinary eye for detail (which one saw so easily in [[Satyajit Ray]]’s work) place "The Outhouse" in a class by itself".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.cscsarchive.org/MediaArchive/art.nsf/(docid)/42BB25AFD035159D65256941001EE4AA?OpenDocument|title=A great first work|work=[[The Hindu]]|first=Gautaman|last=Bhaskaran|date=14 November 1997}}</ref> A critic from ''[[Deccan Herald]]'' opined that "''The Outhouse''`s accomplishment lies in its complex character portrayal of its heroine, Priscilla, and its finely observed details of the everyday, the commonplace, that other movies usually take for granted".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://deccanherald.com/deccanherald/nov22/enter.htm|title=THE OUTHOUSE (English)|first=Pradeep|last=Sebastian|work=[[Deccan Herald]]|date=22 November 1998|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19990420165642/http://deccanherald.com/deccanherald/nov22/enter.htm|archive-date=20 April 1999}}</ref><br />
