Hey folks, this is technically not a review, but basically my views on the movie.
- Movie was decently made but I felt a slight disconnect with flashbacks not placed together in the best way for my liking.
- Vidya Balan could have been given a slightly different look. Too boring to see her in the same avatar in movies, ads, interviews... yawn.
- Her dialogue delivery and acting seemed eerily close to what she did in The Dirty Picture. In both cases, the character was strong willed and travelled places. If someone mixes the scenes from the two movies, it might get difficult to distinguish sometimes.
- I kind of empathised with the daughter. Even though SD must have had the best interests in her mind, it wasn't the route most mothers should take. There was a communication failure and Sanya's characterization was telling and probably the best in the movie.
- The climax scene with the firang attornees seemed to be a sham and I doubt if it did take place thus in real life. If it was a departure from reality, then it could have been scripted better.
- The guy who played Shakuntala's husband too did a great job, while Amit Sadh needs to emote better. He won't be playing the Breathe detective everywhere.
Overall, I felt it was good that I did not have to spend 200 bucks on a movie ticket and 500 on popcorn in a theatre.
