Back from the hibernation since I just finished watching this movie on a flight so may have missed some parts or was busy paying attention to the flight attendants but from what I understood some questions are lingering in my mind. I feel justice wasn't done to the role of the father in this movie as it left a lot of plot holes and although I know he was a bad husband but when it comes to his daughter I don't know if he was a bad father? I know her mother wanted the best for her daughter, but I feel selling your jewelry and keeping secrets wasn't the smartest decision. Her daughter running away from school and travelling to mumbai again wasn't a bright decision. For the sake of money it all turned well but lets not kid our self a minor, travelling to the shady underbelly of entertainment and glamour life in mumbai was it really a smart move?
The story at times was skewed and although I am all for women empowerment I still feel his character was vilified at times. For example he focused on her education and paid beyond his means to support her, it wasn't like he was trying to stop her from going to school. I know she enjoyed music but she was a carless and particularly bad student when it came to her school, she had no interest in her studies or tutoring so is it really fair? Her father never beat her up, he was often working 17 hrs, putting up with his own shit in life/work but was trying to give them a better future, even migrating abroad for them.
There is no question he was a bad and abusive husband. But as a father did he really let his daughter down? I think he was mostly misunderstood.
