Telling it like it is
What drew Kajol to the film is the way the three lives and relationships are woven together. “Every scene is so well written,” she says. She related to the characters of both Anu and Nayan. “I’ve always had strong women around me like my mother and my grandmother who made non-conformist decisions and encouraged that in me as well,” she adds. Much of the film’s energy comes from Anu’s outbursts against her mother, and things come to a head when Nayan suffers a stroke and Anu is forced to re-examine her long-held beliefs.
