The story…

Blind principal of a school for blinds meets young widow.

Few things I still remember…

* Shabana offers to make a cup of tea, something which he does everyday. He finds her help an unwanted sympathy.

*Nasir takes Shabana to hotel & waiter gives bill to Shabana, coz Nasir can not read. He is even more hurt !

Performance…

No words can describe Nasir’s performance. Just Excellent….You are touched !

Shabana in her one of the most memorable performance. Her eyes talk love, confusion so well !

They looked good together.

Things that I have heard about the movie…

Nasir actually spent 1 week at Blinds school to learn the way they walk, see & feel things around. He almost irritated the principal by his observations.

What I learnt from this movie…

Blind or any other person who is physically or mentally challenged (good word !) do not need our sympathy or help. They just want to be friends and share things as we do. Showing unnecessary concern, gestures to help them can actually hurt their sentiments and self-esteem to great extent.

Watch Atleast once...
