Liked the whole context of movie, the plot was amazing. The growth of literary society during that time, outrageous youth inspired by thoughts of bold english authors. The story had lot to give from politics to stress of a widow mother to find a suitable match. I liked everything. Yes, a young man fallling for a old courtesan and crossing his limits was bit odd but definitely practical. And At end choosing a shoemaker rather handsome muslim boy was bit disappointing but it was definitely most safe decision. Love don't see religions age, etc but marriages are not just about love. They are more of engagements done in society. Marrying your lover at any cost maybe most courageous but not wisest. Leaving your lover maybe wisest but not kindest. It's difficult to choose bw family and lover.

A unmarried mother who was unloved by her parents escaped as soon as she gave birth to the child because she knew if she stay they will take child from her. The father of girl must have been killed by family as he was just a mechanic. Now, for this mother her child became her whole world. She saw everyone by her suspicious eyes, killed everyone who in anyway hurt her child. She want her to be protected, safe. She was insecure, afraid, over possessive, and obsessed. In another sense we can say she was escaping from reality wanted to live in some kind of fantasy far away from harsh and not so perfect reality, thats way those luxurious hotels. But unfortunately she never find a single paradise may be there is no such thing. Life has both happiness and sorrows. There is no perfection, there is always something to it. And more we try to escape sorrows more we invite them. We run all our life so that we can avoid these sorrow and To have that perfection. And hence,What are we running from???
