What Grihapravesh understands and conveys so gently is that grief isn't always a wound. Sometimes it becomes part of your architecture, like ivy clinging to an old wall. Titli has learned to live with that ivy, to keep it from growing wild. And yet, there's a cost she's become almost invisible to herself. What Grihapravesh understands and conveys so gently is that grief isn't always a wound Megh's visit doesn't cure her; it doesn't need to. What it does is remind her that there is life beyond grief. That she doesn't have to erase the past to claim her future. By the end, Titli hasn't moved out but she's moved on. And that's the kind of growth that truly matters.

There was something so real, so achingly true about the way Kashika Kapoor portrayed vulnerability in LYF. She didn't overplay her emotions or reduce her character to just a victim. Instead, she gave us a deeply human portrayal - someone who wanted to stay strong but couldn't always hide the cracks. Her tears weren't just about sadness - they were about anger, betrayal, helplessness, and hope all rolled into one. The moments where she allowed her guard to drop, even for a second, were some of the most powerful in the film. You could see the fear behind her eyes, the quiet desperation in her smile. Kashika made vulnerability look brave. She reminded us that being open, being hurt, and still standing is not weakness - it's courage. Her performance was a mirror to anyone who's ever tried to hold it together when everything inside is falling apart.
