Moments within this movie shined and held my heart in its clutch; other moments had a bit too much sap and unbelievability in the plot that took away from the main message of the story. Nevertheless, the acting was outstanding - and the topics universal and timeless.
Miscommunication is a funny thing. It's always in retrospect that one can reflect and just maybe pinpoint the breakdown. Oftentimes though, one domino falling leads to the next. The film captured the cascading effect of one miscommunication after the next so well. As of member of the audience who knows the truth of the matter, this made it painful to watch these miscommunications, one after the other. A true testament to the film and actors for being able to spark that pain and care for the characters within.
The film also handled jealously, nativity, and self-loathing quite well. One scene, I believe, will stick with me for awhile - the character of Shah Rukh Khan talking to a statue of a horse head, telling the inanimate object all he yearns to say to his estranged wife. Had me holding my breath till the very end!
