Reception
[edit]Critic Baburao Patel stated:
Song Of Desert is a picture produced by a very, very small company of producers. They did not have all that was needed for motion picture production except the enthusiasm and the spirit to produce a motion picture. Viewed in this spirit, Song Of Desert should be called a good effort though, as a motion picture, it remains a very modest presentation.[5]
