WAITING - Review








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 !
