O filme é uma carta de amor a Mumbai, adoro esse Choque Cultural. Ser mulher é complicada em lugar em qualquer lugar do mundo, mas na Índia é amedrontador, a cena do professor desprezível, a forma como a mulher é vista pela maioria dos homens nessa sociedade patriarcal machista, enojante… Sanya, linda, atuou em dois filmes maravilhosos, “Garota Estranha” e “Dangal”Uma linda história de amor, delicada, singela, cheia de ternura e reflexiva…

This is quite a touching film - its quite subtle but that's by no means a bad thing. The story is intriguing and its very much a film about the social awkwardness felt by children/grandchildren at the expectations their relatives have for them and how they really feel. The script is good and the performances are good too. There's some amusing moments (lightly amusing, not big belly laugh funny but that's ok) and some thought provoking moments too. I liked the granny, what she said and how she acted at times - it made me smile. Its thought provoking and somehow rather poignant. I liked the imagery presented by what characters describe as being in their thoughts. Of course there's also some nice shots of the indian landscape - it gives a good insight into traditional Indian values I suppose. Generally I'd say it has a nice 'warmth' to it. Yes, I'd recommend this film.
