== Plot ==
As 57-year old government employee Mithi Kumar finds herself on the brink of retirement from her mundane office job, she realises there's just one thing she'll miss about work- or rather her daily commute. It's the voice of a stranger that she has been irresistibly drawn to; one she has felt a deep connection with amidst the everyday din of the railway station. That voice belongs to the station announcer- her invisible but constant companion as she goes to work every day. Ever since the first time she heard his voice, she felt something stir in her- and over the last decade it began to feel as if he was speaking directly to her, as she began conjuring up her own images of him- even writing letters to him, sharing her deepest emotions with this stranger. As her days at work come to a close, Mithi searches anxiously for her imagined soulmate. Will she ever find him- and more importantly, is he for real?

== Reception ==
''Yours Truly'' has garnered multiple reviews and acclaim for its subtle portrayal of loneliness in the modern era.

In her review, Ishita Sengupta from The Indian Express states that, "[[Sanjoy Nag]]’s Yours Truly does not view loneliness as a condition contingent on something, rather as a continuous, pervasive state of being, and succeeds in presenting an intimate portrayal of loneliness and the lonely'''"'''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/web-series/soni-razdan-yours-truly-review-5710938/|title=Yours Truly review: An affecting ode to loneliness|date=2019-05-06|website=The Indian Express|language=en-IN|access-date=2019-06-17}}</ref>''';''' and in agreement with this view, Aayushi Sharma of [[Zee TV|ZeeTV]] compliments Nag’s directorial prowess by writing, "Nag has sprinkled melancholy all over the film but kept the fragrance of it intact."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://zeetv.zee5.com/yours-truly-review-soni-razdan-as-mithi-kumar-profiles-the-sweet-and-bitter-of-loneliness/|title=Yours Truly Review: Soni Razdan As Mithi Kumar Profiles The Sweet And Bitter Of Loneliness|date=2019-05-03|website=Zee TV|access-date=2019-06-17}}</ref>

The protagonist of the film, [[Soni Razdan]], caught the attention of writers and critics for her stellar performance as the 57 year old lonely Mithi Kumar.

Aayushi Sharma of [[Zee TV|ZeeTV]] writes that, "[[Soni Razdan]]’s spectacular performance makes us want to see more of her on the screen. She emotes more through frown lines and short smiles than words" and also that "Soni’s character is a beautiful reminder and a breakaway from the common notion that an elderly single woman tends to be bitter."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://zeetv.zee5.com/yours-truly-review-soni-razdan-as-mithi-kumar-profiles-the-sweet-and-bitter-of-loneliness/|title=Yours Truly Review: Soni Razdan As Mithi Kumar Profiles The Sweet And Bitter Of Loneliness|date=2019-05-03|website=Zee TV|access-date=2019-06-17}}</ref>

Together "[[Sanjoy Nag]] uses silence as a tool to help us understand Mithi better, and [[Soni Razdan]] embraces that silence. She is brave yet afraid, stoic yet vulnerable, lonely yet hopeful" writes Tanisha Bagchi from [[The Quint]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thequint.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/yours-truly-soni-razdan-movie-review|title=‘Yours Truly’ is a Silent Lonely Voice, Screaming to Be Heard|date=2019-05-06|website=The Quint|language=en|access-date=2019-06-17}}</ref>

In praise of the actors and crew, Udita Jhunjhunwala from [[Firstpost|FirstPost]] writes, "[[Pankaj Tripathi]] and [[Aahana Kumra]] inject much needed energy and lightness into an otherwise sombre story"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/yours-truly-review-soni-razdan-aahana-kumra-pankaj-tripathi-bring-energy-to-an-otherwise-sombre-story-6565391.html|title=Yours Truly review: Soni Razdan, Aahana Kumra, Pankaj Tripathi bring energy to an otherwise sombre story- Entertainment News, Firstpost|date=2019-05-03|website=Firstpost|language=en|access-date=2019-06-17}}</ref> and Shoma A. Chatterjee from Upperstall writes, "Stanley Mudda’s cinematography plays around with the muted and underplayed colours of different locations as the narrative keeps moving in and out of spaces from Mithi’s home to the journey to the Howrah station with its announcements of local trains, to Mithi’s workplace."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://upperstall.com/film/yours-truly/|title=Yours Truly|last=Chatterji|first=Shoma A.|date=2018-12-24|website=Upperstall.com|access-date=2019-06-17}}</ref>

Drawing comparisons between Soni’s debut film ''[[36 Chowringhee Lane]], which was also'' about a lonely woman in [[Kolkata|Calcutta]], Nandini Ramnath from [[Scroll.in|Scroll.In]] writes, "The films part on the matters of poetry and the poetics of life in Kolkata. ''[[36 Chowringhee Lane]]'' had a distinctive and consistent mood of melancholy running through it. [[Sanjoy Nag]], who has also written ''Yours Truly'', is more sanguine about Mithi’s prospects"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://scroll.in/reel/921882/yours-truly-review-soni-razdan-is-the-brave-face-of-loneliness-and-longing|title=‘Yours Truly’ review: Soni Razdan is the brave face of loneliness and longing|last=Ramnath|first=Nandini|website=Scroll.in|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-17}}</ref> while [[Subhash K. Jha|Subash K. Jha]] from GlamSham writes that, "Seen as a topi-tilt to "36 Chowringhee Lane", YOURS TRULY passes muster. But one gets the feeling that this portrait of an autumnal life was meant to be so much more than what it finally gets to be in this film".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.glamsham.com/en/yours-truly-a-sincere-take-on-loneliness|title=Movie Review YOURS TRULY|last=Glamsham|website=Glamsham|language=en|access-date=2019-06-17}}</ref>

Rahul Desai from [[Anupama Chopra|Film Companion]] writes about the film saying, "When films are made about those who notice stories, or those who write to avoid being written about, it’s important that the makers resist the temptation of treating their protagonists as a device. Nag keeps ''Yours Truly'' honest to its vacuum, both physically and spiritually."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.filmcompanion.in/yours-truly-movie-review-soni-razdan-pankaj-tripathi-rahul-desai-zee5|title=In Yours Truly, Soni Razdan Shines In An Elegant Ode To Middle-Aged Longing|date=2019-05-06|website=Film Companion|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-17}}</ref>
