My Take

Watched today after stree 2 , loved it. Didn't watch earlier due to Boycott bollywood

So inspiring (just watched on prime video on janamasthami 2024 weekend). After watching this , one's daily life struggles feel so so small.

I don't know what to say about this movie.This movie looks like to be the present story of elderly couple of age 80 and 76 who are my neighbours from past 11 years in Pune ;the next door apartment to ours in Pune. Sadly, today his wife has got a stroke today morning and we were their early morning in their home to lift aunty from bathroom and now she is in ICU.This would look like a story but it's 100% true their sons stay away in Bombay and they stay here alone. And so the uncle the character is ditto of Jackie Shroff ,his walking style is also ditto, and few days we neighbours were talking about him that how he keeps on irking the watchman, the scrap/ bhangaar picker and other housekeeping people their maid etc etc but this character of Jackie Shroff has been observed and penned just mind blowingly .Now the main point , in 2018, the senior couples house i.e. the next house to us got robbed in rainy season night and post that we all were shocked and in the similar fashion, police visited our society , slapped the guard and we came to know a lot of stuff about such elderly peoples' home robberies etc. How thieves keep a watch on such elderly.Uncle goes to park same way, wants PPL to talk to him, long walks of 2 hours each in morning and evening, lot of similarities with the character.Now today just while I was watching this movie at 7pm , they knocked our door to inform that aunty is in ICU and nobody would be here at home for 2 days so to keep a watch, as earlier theft has happened. When theft had happened similarily aunties necklace etc got stolen like told in this movie too and as earlier too aunty has had 2 heartattacks and recently in May she slipped in home and her hip bone got fractured and today morning Post stroke fell in bathroom; the point that has also been mentioned In the movie. Uncle also keeps on noting down the minor details of the neighbourhood and society and our area, wherever he goes walking for his 4 hours walk.Whn he just knocked our door , my tv screen had this movie paused on scene of the old man to which Jackie Shroff was talking to in the park, about tiles in bathroom and how hip bone breaks etc when old PPL slip.I don't have proper words to express my current feelings ; uncle while talking to me was looking at our screen and even his son who came in from Mumbai.Many more things to mention.But for now closing this review and continuing watching the movie

I too just randomly thought of giving it a shot of watching the 1st episode, totally unaware what the plot is etc,just remembering, something written there lies,secrets etc something and then I realised I am watching my own story.I too had been cheated same way with having a son at that time he was 2.5 years old when all this came.up,totally totally similar my state was.Still I am not clear ,if there is still some cheating or not.I picked my pieces and thought to just take care of my small.son and live my kife,as before child too just as I came to know about his cheating I immediately got pregnant ,thinking to give a second chance, nothing changed.Now,I had just made myself understand that , shouldn't pay much attention to his behaviour (as I already knew of many men straying easily since childhood have seen such things )and then suddenly saw this series today,feels as if it is my story.Ours was also a love marriage.I felt like spying, doing an affair everything,but just thought of my son and may character loss.I don't wanna talk about it now,but just after watching and seeing this review,felt like penning down my story too.All the excuses shown in the series match too.Hats off to the two main lead especially Rasika Duggal,she acts fabulous earlier saw her in Delhi crime,too sweet yet intelligent actor.Playing this complex layered character,would have been really really tough,as my state then and still thinking of it gets so tensed.Hats off to her acting skills.Not an easy character I must say.Saying from a womans' angle.I too an intelligent working beautiful girl almost same kind of background like Rasikas'.
