Maya

Are U impatient ? Got a deadline to meet ? Got a train 2 catch ? well then steer clear ! AVOID this one like plague !

Maya Memsaab is a rather slow inferno of a woman of many desires which certainly can't be fulfilled by one man. It makes interesting viewing for those of us who have some time to kill and don't mind killing it by titillating ourselves with a raunchy movie !!

I'd give it a 6 on 10 for the natural performances and the sexually stimulating theme ! And heyy !! There are some lovely songs too.

I've been watching this movie by hoping to find a pretty and interesting story yet the story line wasn't good at all. The play of the actors weren't any better.

Of course Shahrukh Khan was there yet he wasn't enough to make this movie "credible" and interesting.

I've read that this movie was based on the novel of Flaubert "Madame Bovary" yet for me I didn't see it matching with the Indian mentality.

In general we buy movie to dream and have a good time, not to waste our time and change our mood into worse. I just can't understand how it could get such a "high" vote with an average of 6.8/10.

So it's the kind of movie you should run away & ignore because there is nothing to appreciate in it! You will just waste your time unless if you like "dark movie" with "strange and non sense story".

This movie was a journey - either perfectly paced for its themes, or incredibly slow for some of its audience

i choose the latter, the movie has not been made to be for the masses, but made to gain critical praise

Maya Memsaab is tormented by her search for non-fleeting, unconditional love, perhaps to distract her from her own lost and wandering thoughts

very universal themes made in the Indian sense, with similarities to such classics as Lekin or Rudaali, sharing the combined force of the Mangeshkar siblings and Gulzar, and now-stalwart actors when they were starting out

An art-house movie which lived up to what i had heard and expected

An ingenious but not entirely successful translation of Flaubert's classic novel to contemporary India. A nice idea, but it doesn't capture much of the sense of the original. Maya is shown as fey rather than bored and it's difficult to see this Madame Bovary as a doomed temptress. If you've read the original and are prepared to stick with it, it's not bad, but it's definitely on the slow side and on the whole you wonder why they bothered.

"Iss shuruvat ki kabhi anta nahi" that's how Maya's in dilemma when she's about to fall in extra-marital love. Her soul knows such beginnings have no end and definitely not happy ends! But the urge to search for pure Or true love is so forceful, she's succumbs to the desire. Every woman has a 'Maya" within her and she goes through such phase of pull for step out. Most of them hold back due to the fear of society, family and the futileness of such relationships which end up in disturbing two families. Ketan Mehta directed and Deepa Sahi acted movies are of different taste for sure. They are not for the masses but for the class. Excellent movie with a great practical story line that every woman goes through in life but handled in different ways.
