This movie attempts to make a very commendable point, but fails miserably. The whole story seems forced, and the direction is really poor. Like most Bollywood films, its predictable, but the end is downright stupid. There really are better ways to make your point. The story is utterly senseless. I like Amol Palekar a lot, but this is really not even a watchable film. Skip it if you dislike unnecessary melodrama and a story so committed to making its point, it fails to make any semblance of sense.

Deepti Naval steals the show. Amol Palekar is just tiresome to look at. Devika Mukherjee should have had more of a role, she shines in whatever little role she has. The cast is great overall, except for the actor who plays Indu's (Deepti Naval) father. The music is great, and purely classical.

This movie could have been a LOT better if they had worked a bit more on the story. And a lighter premise than death would have made way more sense to prove the point. This morbid premise just makes the movie melodramatic and implausible and also makes a mockery of death.
