Astu - So Be It

This is a Marathi language film starring Dr Mohan Aghashe and Amrutha Subhash.

The film is a very sensitive portrayal of Alzheimer's. Also by showing a brilliant professor with a keen memory of his subject suffering from it, the film gives us better appreciation and sensitivity to the illness similar to the Malayalam film Thanmatra in 2005.

The ill professor gets lost and comes under the care of a gypsies. Amrutha Subhash plays her role to the hilt - here she realises that the professor is just like a child and takes care of him thus. So much that when he's finally found by his family, you can feel the mother in her voice saying - take care haan. Very touching.

It's an inspiration of what kind of care victims of this illness need from us. And how that is so natural that even unlearned gypsies get it. An excellent message by the director.
