Plot:
Romance springs between Tara, a widow restaurateur, and a divorced actor Amar. Tara supplies food to to Amar, they talk over the phone and almost after an year of just talking, they decide to meet. Their romances uncovers and is not taken well by Dev, Tara's son and to top it, Amar is not ready to get into relationship. How the story unfolds is the rest of the story about...
What worked well?
1. Lead actors: Shefali Shah as Tara and Neeraj Kabi as Amar have literally lived the characters. They are so seasoned actors that you can only expect magic from them. The film shows how Shefali Shah as an actress has been under-rated. Her eyes speaks the dialogue and some of the scenes gets a lift just because of her performance. She is amazing!!!
2. The film doesn't have music all the time and largely relies on the silence. Similarly it heavily relies on actor's expression than dialogues. Both have worked well. BGM, wherever used, is excellent and will make you hum even after watching the movie
3. Excellent camera work: Mumbai nights have been beautifully captured
What didn't work well?
1. It takes time and is very slow. Though it's just 1 hr and 45 mins, you will feel it's more than that.
2. This film is to be seen in a very calm and serene mood. You will either like it completely or dislike it completely.
I can say it's technically an another scenario of movie "The Lunchbox" where lead characters meet.
A must watch for drama lovers. It's a performance packed mature romance drama and a very feel good film albeit a bit
