There is great power in
simplicity. Most of the marvels in our world are indeed simple, just as this
film is. An emotional, difficult and moving subject has been brought to the
fore in a simple and compelling story. The thought of losing a loved one is
heart wrenching, but to actually go through it can be devastating. Its only a
person with the same pain who can empathise and “get” another person going
through the same. And many times they have the capacity to heal and help move
on. A real story of two people in pain and sorrow who support each other, in a
way, in dealing with it and help move on. We see the prejudices against large MNC hospitals,
with the state of the art facilities; translate into bitter spats with doctors
as we come to terms with the inevitable. The actions, reactions, thoughts
emotions and feelings acted out are those that you and I would feel in similar
situations. Anu Menon has captured the experiences of pain and loss and
presented in a simple and moving way. Great films with a singular agenda do not
need big spends and glamorous actors. The best character actors from our
industry give an experience of touch and feel of the characters. A must watch !
