Beautiful movie!! Sridevi does not merely act, she lives, that's how extremely talented she is. Shashi potrays every Indian middle class housewife, always working for her family without a thought of herself, her comforts, her little needs , her joys or her insecurities. It's always the family ( most often thankless and uncaring towards her, always taking her for granted). It's a thought provoking movie that everyone should see.
