Goldfish

Saw Goldfish at IndieMeme screening in Austin it was a moving experience . Goldfish has a very relevant & layered script and great performances from all the cast. They are very natural.

Direction is superb and a bit undestated and so is cinematography for a reason. It is more like capturing slice of life in a household and around it with another silent person observing.

There's no background music, but a killer soundtrack, and watch out for the last song.

Went with my 14 year old daughter, and despite the intricate and a bit heavy storyline, she understood and enjoyed it thoroughly, which was a very pleasant surprise.

Great story...excellent star cast and superb acting. A treat for every viewer!

Loved the pace of the movie. The relationship between mother and daughter and their dialogue delivery...the directors eye for the detail. Supporting actors and their relationships kept the audience engrossed and attentive throughout.

Each relationship shown in the movie was very unique, strong and was beautifully portrayed. Subtitles helped.,

A must see for all age groups in today's challenging medical environment and the of love depicted between children and parents.

Hats off to the producer Amit Saxena for investing in the theme..

Should you treat your parents the same in their last years as they treated you in your first?

Goldfish is the story of the troubled relationship between a daughter and her mother.

The mother is played by the evergreen and my favourite, deepti naval. And the daughter is played by the versatile, kalki koechlin.

The mother is suffering from dementia, she is slowly forgetting things, words, places, people, and how badly she treated her daughter growing up.

Among all this, after the death of her husband, she has found love again, and she loves him so much that she has willed her home to her love instead of her daughter!

The film is also the story of living in a good neighbourhood and having loving neighbours who take care of each other.

There's even a scene set in the bathroom, where the whole neighbourhood got together to help the character of deepti naval.

What i liked the most in the movie was its cinematography, which was done by the director, pushan kripalani.

The pacing and the screenplay in the film could have been done better.

Overall the movie was good and the end left you with a question which i asked in the beginning.

Watched this with the director, producer, writers, and star cast: deepti naval, kalki koechlin, and rajit kapoor at the india habitat centre, delhi.

The movie is a masterpiece of storytelling, with excellent performances by the actors, and a sensitive and nuanced direction. It is a poignant and realistic portrayal of the challenges and dilemmas faced by the elderly in a society that values youth and productivity. The movie is a tribute to the enduring power of human relationships, and a reminder that old age is not a curse, but a stage of life that deserves respect and dignity. Truly a thought-provoking and inspiring work of art. Deepti Naval in Goldfish excellently demonstrates all of this with utmost grace. Kalki Koechlin portrays a duty-driven daughter who is obliged to return to a long-forgotten past. A film worth watching.

The movie was captivating, the actors did a fabulous job. Although the topic was known and it could get dreary, the storyline and the director made the story unfold in a manner that kept me engaged the entire time. The complex and estranged relationship between the mom and daughter and how dementia creeps into it and shapes their relation is very interesting.

Kudos to a script well written and well chosen. Kudos to Amit Saxena for his first production and taking it to this level of success. I personally think that the movie deserves some awards for cinematography and Deepti Naval for her amazing acting.
