Star Performances:

Kalki Koechlin plays the role of Tara in the movie, and her character is such that she takes stock of the reality. Naseeruddin Shah is Shiv in the movie, and although illusory, he sticks on to the hope that his wife will wake up someday or other. Shiv is a very intelligent person who gives hope to Tara from what he has known. He is the one she could rely upon as he is a well-informed elderly person. There is the generation gap between Kalki Koechlin and Naseeruddin Shah and the performances by the two gives heartwarming moments to the audiences.

Analysis:

The story is as simple as it is. Although the story deals with a grim situation, there are plenty of light moments in it. There are philosophical notes in the movie, but the story is well-balanced and does not make the audience ponder on philosophy excessively. The two characters have different approach to treatment to their loved ones. Shiv wants the doctors to perform surgery on his wife, and Tara hesitates to put her husband through an operation. These moments bring tears, and there are several such moments in the movie. The movie shows the actors in a wordy duel with doctors. Along with these, the story has moments in it portraying fleeting relationships.
