Deepti Mehrotra

What a heartwarming film touching so many different themes, but everything with a lot of innocence & honesty. Its story of childhood, of belief in magic in life, of unexciting education system, of unconditional love & bond between grandparents & kids, of love & affection and of a lot of humanity. You will have a smile on your face throughout the film. Do watch it with as many people as you can. Available on Netflix & Mubi India!

The film falls flat on what it sold out to for the last month or so. The film has to work in totality. The music, background score, photography & cinematography can be appreciated in parts, but the movie works if the story, screenplay and lines are worth it. In 2.5 hrs, you barely find 15-20 min of sincerity in this movie, unlike a Kapoor & Sons and Ek Main hun aur ek tu, which had way more depth than this Depth (Gehraiyaan). It has Posh people syndrome. Kapoor & Sons and Ek Main aur ek tu works despite more colors and brightness is because it was better story, screenplay and brilliant casting and acting done. Gehraiyaan, Deepika is good, but rest is just ...eh..and too much Hinglish is spoiling the tone!

It's a really good watch. And though the director may have decided to edit such a long life in his own style, it's completely enjoyable and amazing acting by Parineeti. Imdb rating completely false!

The concept is not new, the setting and treatment is a little more contemporary. But the dialogues and the lead girl are a total letdown. The direction is just about ok. I have absolutely loved Anand Tiwari as an actor. But screenplay is very average. Everything is very predictable. And all of it looks very made up. Tamanna is almost always in proper makeup and so is Radhe. The tropes are very old, lines cheesy and acting just about average. But, the music is amazing. And some performances and some moments are very good. The last few episodes are better. And it's good to have classical music as the central subject of a series. Will hopefully ignite some passion in today's youth in the sea of auto tunes, to be an original!

Movie is Ok. Jhanvi Kapoor as the lead choice is a really bad choice. She doesn't have any power in her acting. A much better actor would have been able to bring so much to the role which Jhanvi completely lacks and that makes the movie miss the mark it could have reached! But a good effort from the remaining cast. Angad Bedi also unimpressive!
