Real hard to keep out the tears

Rating: 9/10 (18 July 2014)

I stepped into the theater hoping for a good movie. I had seen the ratings on IMDb and 8.4 was a very good score for a romantic drama. I must say that I entered the cinema hall with high expectations but guess what? I came out more satisfied than ever, literally trying hard to keep my tears from rolling down my cheeks.
This movie portrays the romantic life of two cancer patients and it is as good and as realistic as it gets. No useless stuff, no made up scenarios - it all seems natural. I haven't read the book so I had no idea what was coming and whatever was thrown at me, I found it really good. I couldn't predict how it would end (atleast not exactly how it actually ended) and it was a pleasant (though sad) surprise. The story isn't sad - You start with 2 cancer patients, you know how its gonna end. But the love that bonds the lead characters even in a time of unbearable difficulty and to know that it will not last long is heart breaking. Even much before the movie ended, I was contemplating as to what will happen to the characters later on in the story.
If you are looking for an amazing romantic drama, this is the best and the most realistic as it will ever get. For those who cannot hold back their tears, make sure you bring lots of tissues along, you'll need it.
