I wasn't expecting much but this movie left me in tears. I was weeping at the end of it.
I liked that it was bilingual to some extent -made it very authentic.
As a cinephile, this was great story telling. I hated kajol in the beginning how brash and obnoxious she was and not to mention abusive (seemed to close to her real life persona from movies).
Then as the movie progressed, it made sense why she was the way she was. Kunal Roy Kapur also stole the show, you feel for him.
The movie shines light on women and their choices in Indian patriarchal system and also children coming from "broken families". It was heart touching the way everything was dealt.
Surprised to see Kajol is such a dark movie + the movie made by some of the big names in Bollywood. Definitely, a great attempt at storytelling and also directing from a debutant director.
Kudos to Renuka Shahane.
