Predictable bore

Rating: 6/10 (1 May 2017)

I have lately enjoyed a number of Indian movies. They are getting better all the time. Most foreign films are getting way more interesting than the often formulaic US blockbusters. I looked forward to this, after all the hype. Nicole Kidman could only be expected to add to the mix. She has rarely disappointed me. However after the tantalizing start, the director just played out a limo stretch of a glossed over photo shop job with an dishearteningly predictable and pathetic attempt at pulling on heart strings. It may have possibly worked in the black and white silent era on my doting aunties. The director seems to have got bored and just carried on lamely to fulfill his contractual obligations. I had given up on a twist or flourish way before the end. Very disappointing indeed.
