I am happy Gauri didn't play with character of Shashi and didn't put that angle of love! Few months of togetherness and years of companionship... Shashi took right step

How would that be stupid? It was the French guy who changed Shashi's life, got her to value herself, realise her self worth. He gave her respect that nobody else did.

Shashi's husband was an ugly MCP who devalued her, belitted her work, mocked her, demoralised her and rather teamed up with daughter to mock Shashi. He did not teach even kids to respect their mother. He made fun of her attempts to learn English. He barely ever listened to her or tried to gauge her feelings. He'd ignore her most of the time but pull her to bed when he wanted to. What kind of companionship is that?

Gauri Shinde ended film this way only to appease traditional audience and uphold stereotypes about how an Indian woman ideally ought to be like. Till the end she kept Sridevi weak with her family. Shashi could never even control her crude daughter. Shashi's quitting her classes just to be with family and help with wedding prep was also backwardness. Why show her feeling guilty about focusing on self and "forgetting" about family? An hour or two of a class makes a woman selfish and careless? If son was injured then it was husband's responsibility to handle him too.
The last part of the film is pretty disappointing IMO.

The most surprising thing was Richa winning the critics award over PC-Vidya-Sridevi at Filmfare Awards.😕She is a good actress, no doubt about that but PC and Sri both were a step ahead of Richa.Maybe FF had to please its critics by awarding the 'off beat' actors of Bollywood than giving to the usual Ranbir and Vidya both the times.

But right from the start, Shashi was not shown to be attracted to Laurent. Yes she did thank him for making her realize who she really is but there was a difference between the way Laurent approached Shashi and the way Shashi approached Laurent. It was always a one sided attraction from the start till the end. So I don't think Gauri ended the film in a way that it pleases the Indian audience. Shashi from first wanted respect and love only from her husband and daughter. Even in the scene at the terrace, Shashi behaved more as a friend.Looked more like her character was written from the start the same way they showed her at the end, loving her husband and family. (my reply is only based on the bold lines).

Lol so PC is actually now deciding whether she is giving a nuanced performance or not? (irrespective of who deserves what)

I've said it before and I'll say it a thousand more times.

Portrayal wise PC's role was difficult but vidya's role was centric and also ranbir hogged all limelight for barfi reducing PC's character impact.

Ouch. I wonder what Vidya would think about this. I hope they ask her about it.

i agree with pc
jhilmil was more complexed to play
than to play vidya's character in kahani
vidya acted brilliantly but it was not a difficult role.

I can't believe she's actually going around saying her performance was more nuanced. You just don't say something like that on national tv. People who praise themselves sound like total jackasses...sheesh, let that the audience decide that.
