Once Again

The movie has an element of realism. Shefali Shah portrays her character beautifully, and makes the movie watchable. Every scene with her is worth watching. The phone conversations between the characters were well done, I think some of the best lines in the movie is during these scenes. A lot of it is good, the wide pan shots of the city, the bustling in the streets at night, the shots of Shefali in the restaurant cooking were the best moments of the film. However, the movie suffers from the melodramatic music, overtly emotional and sometimes completely unsuitable to the scene itself, making what could have been a good scene into something akin to an amateur film school student's creation. The ending is also uncharacteristic of the rest of the movie, makes little sense and leaves the viewer utterly unsatisfied. This is not to say that an ambiguous ending is not good, it just was not done very well, unlike "Lunchbox", another movie with a similar theme of loneliness. The movie could have been a lot more if there was sharper editing, removal of weird dancing montages and a more well thought out ending. Overall, though I do not regret wartching it. It's worth a watch just for Shefali's performance. Very underrated actress.
