@bold Probably saved another generation from family trauma. She and her dad had a weird relationship because he hid the truth from her which made her assume things. Run after wrong things. Tia loved Zain and lived in the impression that he was so stressed coz of work that he committed suicide. She would always feel sorry for that person. She deserved to know what a jerk he was. It’s not easy to survive with that guilt that someone you loved had so much pain in them they decided to die and you couldn’t be of any help. Again an angle not explored. This is why I say the movie tries very hard to make audiences relate to the protagonist who is not just flawed or twisted but plain selfish and emotionless towards others. No this is not ok how much ok the writer tries to make it. At least for me I wasn’t able to resonate with Alisha at all. She is just self centred and loves only herself, and it’s not ok to live that way. The fact that the movie doesn’t take any side means it deems what Alisha did as a possible best way of doing things which I don’t agree with.

I just want to know what happened to the property.... shouldn't Alisha be the one to sign on the docs or maybe it wasn't fully transferred

Deepika is in a way lucky to have haters who spend time watching her movie just to troll her .

Kangana's last movie about one of the most powerful lady politician is not even acknowledged by many lead reviewers,not even her deshbhakti fans.

Which lead reviewer didn't acknowledge thalaivii?? It was reviewed by shubhra gupta, bharadwaj rangan, rahul desai, raja sen, all youtube reviewers and media outlets ?? Only anupama didn't review it but she later on a live with jammy discussing the film said it was cause maharashtra theatres was shut due to the pandemic and she couldn't go to the other venue for the press screening. Also, pretty sure kangana didn't watch the movie, it's a general review looking at all the viral troll posts about gehraiyaan

Tia made her dad change the will to avoid further hurt to her mother

This movie is like those Imraan Hashmi movies that people made fun of earlier..same greed, lust and confusion. This movie just added mental health to project it as something path breaking and the industry is gloating about it.😊

Even Imraan movie characters may have had mental health issues which weren't explored..u know there wasn't much awareness about it in India at the time

I watched it and to put it simply I liked it. I have to admit I have not read reviews, I try not to until I watch, of course you cannot help the trailers or the comments that come before, due to that I get pollution...so honestly I was expecting a copy of The Korean: An Affair (1998) but Gehraiyaan stands on its own, and it does so well, it is an urban story, one that can happen anywhere, you know it is India because they tell you, but this film had none of the typical things that make up 99% of Hindi films, no super hero against 20 goons fights, no religion, no dirty scraggly critters, and specially NO grandiloquent preaching of good against evil, it was just a metropolis with people with issues, very mundane issues, with all players trying to survive, get ahead, use others because you have to sometimes, just like real life. The intimate scenes all were filmed well and you do not see any extra body parts (they leave it up to dirty minds). It was tastefully done, I even appreciate that there was not much grunting or sounds during the scenes, everything got covered by waves or music. Most of the audience 10 and up has seen that and much, much more.

So basically I think that they accomplished what they set out to do with this very grown up film. I even liked the somber coloring (a lot like Korean). However I guess everyone kind of adds or takes away from a story as they see fit and people try to psycho analyze the characters and create a convoluted second story...Why I do not know? The story was well told, so there should be no more to add. The house is not even in the town they mention so it is NOT about locality or places in India and there had to be intimate scenes because it is a big part of the story, that is all the two leads had,that is how they connected, they talked after the sex and in fact the things they told each other were not the reality that the rest of us saw, but their version of reality, she did not even know the truth and he cared for her, but he wanted it all and bit more than what he could chew...s..t happens...

No one was a saint and no one was satan, they are just people using eachother and dealing with things that happen, a real slice of life in an urban set up, with actors acting in a modern city, being common and not encased into an ethnic way of behaving. Did they use F-fire cracker word too much...maybe (where I come from, everyone cusses and F...is a multiuse word,-So is not a bomb anymore) maybe they could have cut some of the Fs off like when the dude was proposing but hey...it sounds to me like it is used a lot...Was this movie a Masterpiece for all ages, no. It is just a movie about life.

Again I will repeat I was pleasantly surprised, DP done Good! Very good, the rest as well, all of them should receive their deserved applause.

I am sooooo happy Hindi cinema is growing up, not every movie has to have in your face ethnicity, plus brake out in a song and dance in the middle of nowhere nonsense scenes the rest of the world never gets that...They maybe have decided to enter the world market and make films any joe can understand.

...Now all we need is for the public to get going and grow up too...watch them or not, like them or not, but quit trying to create Gods and Goddesses out of entertainers, there's new movies coming out tomorrow...there is always hope the next one will have a praying, bowing or kneeling super hero that beats up 20 goons and the girls shake their bom boms.

p.s. I like almost all actors (only kangana is disgusting, she will never pass the smell test) so I judge on the work and plot not on personality or fandom...Did you know there are great Asian films (yeah the other Asia)...if you liked this one you will enjoy The Affair....

SPOILER and why do you think alisha in future might not reveal everything or when she feels confident to reveal ? even tia spilled all the secret when she felt it was convenient, even though she very well knew how alisha was suffering and having total wrong impression about mother’s issues.. tia could have told her isnt it ? so , each of the characters are selfish here and who in the world isnt ?there is a reason we got that open ending .. we can take it however we want .

Exactly. I dont understand people giving a free pass to Ananya's character Cheating is not the only sin you know- how about robbing your sibling and blood relative of her birth right? That doesn't somehow make you selfish?

I like that the film has shown all characters as flawed.

Overall, this was a good movie. I found the pacing to be very languid and very difficult to get into the movie. But once it hits the moment where things get interesting it holds you.

This movie is a good example of don't trust a book by its cover. The trailer made people assume that it would glorify or justify infidelity. But it's a cautionary tale of how infidelity can wreck multiple lives and multiple generations.

The performances are really great. Siddhanth Chaturvedi and Deepika Padukone share have sizzling chemistry. I used to think it was an odd pairing but they are so good together. Deepika really portrays the emotional spiral very well. I think Naseeruddin Shah is the purest character and managers a lot in very little screentime.

I think the pacing and execution prevent it from reaching its full potential. The story could have been far tighter and gone into the whirlwind events sooner.

Okay I finally saw this series. For the music and actors 👍🏼

Now coming to characters all the characters were flawed. Deepika s character alisha someone who always in self pity mode. Always blaming and cribbing about people and life. In both her relations she couldn't provide any kind of moral support to both the men because according to her she was victim just like her mother and she comes to know that changes her story her version also. Childhood does have deep impact and if not healed it will ruin other relations also.

Zain s character one can say he gets what's he wants and in order to save himself he can do anything. He was in trouble and followed Jitesh advise ? Wonder was Jitesh really his wellwisher or had some hidden intentions....

Tia s character isn't coming across wrong because the other characters did much worse. Tia atleast came out honest. Tia should have known Zain and alisha s reality.

Out of everyone I m happy for karan. He found success in professional and personal front.

So my take on this series. It's not worst not the best.
