Waiting Movie Review

प्रतीक्षा की जा रही फिल्म समीक्षा

Story:

Tara (Kalki Koechlin) is a fiercely independent woman whose life turns upside down after her husband Rajat (Arjun Mathur) meets with an accident. At the hospital, she meets Shiv, an elderly man whose wife of 40 years has been in the coma for eight months. The two strike an unlikely friendship that helps them cope with their grief.

Review:

It is commendable that director Anu Menon has whipped up a warm tale about love, loss and surviving life's catastrophic blows, with such simplicity. Her lead characters - Shiv and Tara - have nothing in common. Menon plays on their generation gap to offer some genuine smiles. He can't utter the 'F' word. She is brash but awkwardly loving. His coping device is faith; hers is shopping. And yet, the two bond over the vital stats of their spouses.
