Astitva

The male dominance in the indo-pak sub-continental society, even today, and it's affects really needs more addressing.

How/where do you draw the line? Where is the balance? Being a modern, educated woman doesn't necessarily have to mean a career woman.

Astitva chose to take the more direct stand of siding with the female movement. What it did not address is the group of female who are in the middle. The females who are capable of being independent, but are more interested in family and home.

The biggest flaw of the movie was putting both Sri and Aniket (Aditi's son) in the same boat. But I guess they wanted to deal with one simple issue and keep the plot simple.

The best part of the movie (as far as the making goes) - it was exactly as long as it had to be.

A Unique and tragic love story with emotions and tragic situations.

Direction of Mahesh Manjrekar is brilliant the way he present the storyline with his unique character arc is unique to watch. Specially the emotions that were shown in the film is truly touches your heart and you can easily got connected with the characters till the end of the film.

Screenplay is good movie doesn't feel bored though it has less characters and a short story but still it feels great to watch and feel for it. Music & Bgm is good with powerful dialogues at the end is definitely make the film top with rest of the films.

TABU is one of the best actress in Hindi film industry. Brilliant performance by her the story revolves around her character but still outstanding performance by her.

Rest of the cast also perform well and suited with their characters.

A must watch film with great direction, story, acting performances and emotional aspects.....

Bridges of madison county is a better made version of this story. I felt the ending of this movie was not handled sensitively as they did in the original English movie. This movie is very indianised, if you are a very sensitive person who cries in a movie when hero dies in the end you'll love this movie, On the other hand if you are a fighter in life and think crying is for wimps you may not like the ending.But on the whole it's pretty good subject is well handled for indian conditions. Tabu was good as a caring wife and mother. Everybody acted well.

The soundtrack the lighting affect are allthe awesome. Movie was good on social issue but I can't digest this that if man is doing all hard to earn bread and butter for their family then women should cheat she should also respect him. Sachin was also very much in love with tabbu she can't say he don't love. But hiding truth was not fair at all.

Every family should seat together and watch this film.
