  Too real an encounter, I wept and wept feeling the massive loss of real pain, real relationships, the texture of a home, of childhood, people and a time when the world seemed to glow. So unimposing, so untainted by intellectualism - just life and loss that the characters are deeply immersed in, more than I am immersed in my very real life that feels made up and crafted

  Oh man oh man this film is so terrible that it was good. I couldn’t have asked for a better trash film on a Friday night after a tiring week at work. My work also involves constantly talking about movies and it’s honestly having the opposite effect on me: it makes me want to not watch films in my off time. Laughing at nadaniyaan was thus a successful movie watching experience

  A worthy remake but a bit too clean and pretty-looking. Great performance by Sanya Malhotra. Dialogue had to be better. We get it, don’t explain it please. Does make you uncomfortable like the great Indian kitchen, but indulges into the beauty of the dishes too much and shies away from visually showing the dirt, the grunge, the disgust of the sink. Varun Badola makes for quite an obnoxious Tunnu bhaiya. God I wish I could say I don’t know men like these, but each of them sent alarms to my head, reminding me of entitled pricks in my own family.

  Ahh not a film with sepia toned, brown and pale colour grading that ends is a low frame rate shot and no resolution and has a credit sequence showing kids from an NGO reacting to the film ending in a freeze frame: so characteristic of a gazey filmthat gets nominated for an Oscar. Gaze aside, truly outdated filmmaking with overly simple dialogue and unnecessary background music. Not to mention truly lazy title design
