I seem to be writing movie reviews often nowadays! Well...I seem to watch good movies often nowadays! I am enjoying our retired, relaxed life now! Think of the positive things in life...take life as it comes! Nothing can be controlled! Whatever happens, happens for good....well, preaching ends here!
I had been planning to watch this movie for a long time now...I had read reviews about how well Naseeruddin Shaw and Kalki Koechlin had acted in this movie.
The story of the movie can be written in two lines but the way it is picturized is beautiful...
Shiv Natraj (Naseeruddin Shaw) is a very senior psychology professor, who is taking care of his comatose wife Pankaja (Suhasini Manirathnam) in a Cochin hi-fi hospital. He has sort of settled in his routine of finishing his work at home and coming to the hospital to sit beside his wife who had been in the hospital for the past 8 months. He holds her hand and talks to her, reads to her every day. He is friendly with the nurses (a nurse brings him food from home everyday) and doctors.
Then comes Tara Kapoor Deshpande (Kalki Koechlin) who was a recently married young advertising agent whose husband met with an accident at Cochin, now in the ICU with a severe brain injury.
Both of them are waiting in the hospital for their spouses' recovery. They meet often and come closer while consoling each other. Both of them love their spouses (Naseer's had been a 40 years of happy marriage and Kalki loved her short term husband).
Their generation gap is shown beautifully...how their thinking is world apart, language, how they look at their lives etc. Kalki uses the foul words in every sentence and Naseer is a very straight forward, simple man! They come closer inspite of all these diversities. Naseer is not even familiar with 'Twitter'! Every frame in this movie is well thought of.
I liked the acting of the assistant of Kalki's husband (Rajiv Ravindranath...new to me) and the doctor (Rajat Kapoor). Both the cases are entirely different and I liked the way the doctor handled both of them! Rajat also is a good actor.
Naseeruddin Shaw is a veteran actor and I have watched many of his movies. Kalki, I liked her in 'Margarita with a straw'.
Now, to the trailer of the movie:
This movie is being screened often in TV or you can download too. If you want to watch a meaningful movie, this is for you!
