My expectations were very high but at the same time I did not know what to expect, as obviously Ajay being first time director an all.
But I want to say that Ajay did an AWESOME Job as a director. he deserves praise for the effort.
The subject was handled brilliantly, the first half was lighthearted and fun. alot of scenes made me laugh. as soon as the interval came. you knew something was going to turn. the second half is shocking, extremely tearjerking. There was one scene with Kajol that I LITERALLY was crying when I saw. she was just superb.
SPOILER* It was when she was screaming and pleading Ajay to not leave her.
Performances-
Kajol was the soul for me. she did an amazing Job. In the first half you love her sweetness and she looked stunning. I want all those dresses Manish gave her.:o. In the second half . her silence. her eyes. he face. every movement was perfect. I did not expect anything less. she really gave something else here. I am extremely proud of her performance!
Ajay was great as well. the first half he made you laugh. the second half. you could see his difficulty. you felt for him.
I can safely say. Ajay and Kajol's chemistry showed Amazingly in this film. they looked real together and so loving. Bless them!
The songs picturisation was nothing special unfortunately. . Thats where the work needed. but still I enjoyed it. the one I enjoyed the most was watching Saaiyan. Kajol looked stunning and sooo cute the way she was acting in the song.
I love the way Ajay dealt with Flashbacks. in the first half and second. very cleverly done. there was alot of special effects. that even shocked you as well. There were many scenes that shocked you and made you literally cry.
The amazing shot sequence that I was wondering how did they shoot it so real. as it felt real.
SPOILER *- When the baby is drowning.
There were some parts I felt were long in the second half. but thats because you need alot of patience the serious issue is underlined and the emotional scenes are highlighted. The last 20 minutes have you in tears.
Overall I would give this film- 9/10 - I deffo recommend it.
And its correct when people say. don't watch it for just Ajay and Kajol. but the illness underlined as well as believing in relationships and love.
