    A free flowing , subtle movie

    A free flowing subtle Movie. Neeraj Kabi - I have always admired his work in differential character roles. But his lead role in this movie has left me mesmerised. And Shefali ji is one of finest the industry has. Her class and poise is spontaneous.

    Intensely romantic, few moments of this movie will leave you speechless.

    I enjoyed the movie thoroughly.

    Simple yet beautiful

    Nowaday movie lack lot of simplicity. This movie offers you exactly the same. These two characters don't speak much but they say so much through their silence.. it's hard to find such talent..I felt butterflies after ages..just fall in love once again..

    Great Actors; Erratic Storyline

    The leads are major stars, and the film is enjoyable to watch them develop their characters. But both the writing and direction meander and stop and start to such an extent the film became annoying, even boring. And after all the misdirections, I didn't believe the ending at all.

    Romance has no age

    Neeraj kabi and Shefali Shah are natural in front of camera. There is one more character in the movie that is city's loneliness which is in sync with two lead actors feelings. I am not going to reveal much of the story but perfect movie for Shefali and Neeraj fans. From Satya to Once again she has performed variety of roles and this will be rated as one of her best. Kudos to The Team.

    A beautiful and simple matured love story. A little slow though

    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
