Reviews :

"The Vocalist who performed the opening concert for the day, Rujul Pathak has emerged as a noted singer from the younger set of   artists."
"Rujul's voice is indeed her fortune, and she invested her melody in Raag Behag, with characteristic verve, force and fervour all   blended nicely."
"Tuneful to the year, young Pathak's vocal recital was a refreshing type."- THE INDIAN EXPRESS, January 6, 2001
" If voices could thrill, Rujul Pathak would definitely be held responsible for the act!"
"Her excellent taleem was evident at the Sur Singar Kal Ke Kalakaar sammelan in Mumbai, where Rujul was conferred the coveted  title of SURMANI."
"Rujul is simply not all melody; she has also been learning Kathak dance for many years now."
"Rujul is an MBA from Ahmedabad and was also adjudged the personality queen of her college."
"Awards, titles and Rewards continue to fall in her lap but Rujul would like her life to be one whole trip of Music and education.  With her tenacity and skills she sure does not have to try too hard!"- THE TIMES OF INDIA, "PROFILE", September 16, 1999
" There is a promise of a good khayal singer in Rujul Pathak..."
"If the glimpses of potential in her khayal and Tarana in Raag - Yaman offered are any indication, she should be able to make it!" 
-  THE INDIAN EXPRESS, January 5, 1994
