wow!!

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2013)

I don't know why I waited so long to watch this movie. Perhaps I didn't buy the hype surrounding it, and it was 3 hours long, and its box office performance wasn't that good too. But after watching it, I must say that I felt my soul so expanded after a very a long time. A kind of feeling that only the best cinema gives you. The six different stories were a bit confusing to follow at first, but by the end everything eventually made sense. I don't understand how people couldn't get it. A someone from Hindu background the idea felt standard, but its exposition was beautiful. All the major characters go from ignorance to doubt to discouragement and finally resolve to face their life as it is. Of all the story arcs, I loved the one about the escaping grandparents and the penniless composer.
