In the good ol' days, it was very gallant for a dashing male to offer his coat to a glamorous lady, sheltering her from the cold. Bond's tender and tragic love story is based on this very premise. But modern gender equality trashes this eloquent moment. And TV adaptation screws up the sensitivity of this act and its consequences.
Pros: Appreciable cinematography which effectively captures the beautiful landscape of Shimla and its environs, especially the distinctive colonial touch - ignoring the modern mayhem of this beautiful town; gorgeous Raima Sen, glamorous Saloni Batra, subdued, controlled histrionics by Sajjad Delafrooz
Cons: Offering one's coat to a lady in distress may be passé in modern times, but can still be acceptable. However, offering one's coat DAILY to a ghost who is rather substantial, appears regularly and roams around with the male protagonist in full day light, discussing life and it's foibles? Bond's story comes apart with this ridiculous interpretation by the screenplay writer. Beautiful and extremely talented actress, Saloni Batra is totally neglected and has no role to play. What a waste.
