It's so pleasing to see a WOMAN writing & directing a film that narrates the stories of WOMEN from their individual perspective ...with each woman being a mother / would be mother with a lingering question..
MOTHERS who sacrifice in lieu of family ..can't they have their own aspirations???
RENUKA SHAHANE..(most famous BHABHI from HUM AAPKE HAIN KOUN ..CIRCUS...SURABHI fame) helms the directorial baton & narrates a tale of a dysfunctional family spanning 3 generations of Women & their approach towards life in her debut endeavour
Several topics ..considered taboo are covered ..though superficially but thought provoking ( female foeticide...sexual abuse et al..)
Its an ode to Women who don't consider Patriarchy as a stumbling block..
Film starts with an Award winning author (TANVI AZMI-1st generation) in a midst of her autobiography suddenly slipping into coma..
Her estranged Daughter (KAJOL - 2nd generation ) & Grand daughter (MITHILA PALKAR - 3rd generation) are summoned to the hospital..
The ghost of the past are unveiled with regrets & accusations prevailing amongst them..
DIALOGUES are apt & humourous at various places
SCREENPLAY goes through Crest & Trough but has it's HEART at right place
If TANVI AZMI is the heart ..then KAJOL is the Heartbeat..Two Veterans are just EXEMPLARY...
KUNAL ROY KAPOOR is restrained & first rate
MITHILA PALKAR has less screen time but is sweet & great screen presence
Supporting cast ..MANAV GOHIL..VAIBHAV.T .. KANWALJEET SINGH just fill in
A POIGNANT TALE....RECOMMENDED..!!!!
