Yes. He never siad leave the country, just the house. 😆 He could have done soemthing more. And she could have ran off with him or better yet not get married. She was shown to be so head-strong, rebellious, even a little sucidial and crazy then she could have stopped the marriage. I just think both were crazy in love and imamture teenagers that didn't quite understand.

In my opinion love is about giving.

Vanraj is the one I favour as well.

A decent, educated man, devoted to his family but also someone who could go against tradition for sake of setting his loved one free.
Okay he is not as handsome or conventionally charming as Sameer but his valur system was exemplary.

He could have created a ruckus on the wedding day itself given how Nandini was behaving during pheras. But he didn't. He could have forced himself on Nandini but he didn't. He knew one has to win her heart and respect, physical conquest alone doesn't cut it. He could have trashed her family for giving such a girl to him. But he didn't.
He was man of such principles that he didn't even lie to his family. He openly told them he was taking wife to Italy to reunite her with her lover. He braved all insult and scolding, rejected all calls to "be a man and control his wife" as his father tried to provoke him and his ego.
It shows the strength of character as a man.

Vanraj is the most progressive male character I have seen on Indian screen in recent times. It is different from Woh 7 din because in that film woman begins to get attached to her in laws and her husband's first child also as she takes cares of them. Whereas Nandini has no bonding with husband or in laws.

Vanraj genuinely takes care of her, bears with her tantrums, accusations (when she has a quarrel with him in hotel room), keeps trying to suppress his own attachment to her as he searches for Sameer in a foreign land and the way he cares for her after she is shot is something that even a nurse is amazed by.

I say Nandini was selfish and confused earlier but started to look beyond and had change of heart only later. It was not just tradition but it was Vanraj's behaviour that made her realise what sindoor and Mangalsutra signified.

Any girl with a heart would run back to Vanraj IMO.

Sameer was juvenile. I am sorry but I don't like him much. He did not follow discipline of his teacher's house, took too much liberty and even advantage of the love and hospitality they gave him. He wanted Nandini to come to him but never made attempt to convince her family or visit her or even elope with her. Promise made to her dad was an excuse. Why send letters if you've promised to get out?

Sameer earned my respect only after he let Nandini go. He didn't force or obsess over her then.

I say Vanraj made both Nandini and Sameer grow up and realise what love is all about. He made his family also realise what love actually means. Whether you're a spouse or parent or friend, you have to earn love. A person should be so understanding and great that nobody can resist getting drawn to him.

You can never ignore a man who has given all of himself and even risked his and his family's honour for you, who legally has right over you but still never forces himself on you, who had the right to desert you and leave you to do your own thing but didn't and instead helped you gain what you had lost.

Vanraj could habe divorced her and left her to maika telling her to marry lover or call him back.

But he knew her parents were not willing, there was no other way for her to find her lover all by herself. So he helped her himself. And that's something totally unexpected of a man.

A man like Vanraj is rare. Not everyone get such a person in their lives.

It was heartbreaking when he let her go and was walking off alone trying to wipe his tears. It felt heartening when Nandini came back to him. Stuff of dreams without any exaggeration.

Frankly I loved this movie and as depressing as it was , even liked the ending. But now that I think about it her love for Vanraj was more of a compromise than true love. Not that her love for Sameer was anything more than the infatuation. So in either case, didn't matter who she ended up with...but this way, SLb got approval of Indian society.. Married woman decided to stay with her husband..wooHoo!!

PS: I thought the movie was inspired by old Hindi movie, Won sat din, I think in that heroine chose to go back to her bf than to stay with husband. Talk about how progressive India became regressive during 90's!!



In Woh 7 Din also heroine goes back to husband only.

It is not about progressive or regressive. Indian films always favour notion of love being selfless, giving and willing to sacrifice. That's why Aman is the hero in Saajan -ready to sacrifice for sake of his family. AB is compelled to sacrifice his love and marry Jaya and still return to her only (even if he tried to stray), even Sanjeev Kumar silently tolerates apathy and affair of Rekha in Silsila.

Nandini doesn't stay with Vanraj only because she is married now but because he cares selflessly for her.

Otherwise we have many films in which people kick out or leave spouse in an unhappy marriage.

It is about caring for the one who cares for you.

The ending was picture perfect.

I could totally see Nandini falling in love with Vanraj, it was something very meaningful and deeper. It made me sooo happy to see Nandini rushing towards him in the end.

What she had for Sameer could be infatuation or even love. But nothing compared to what she had with Vanraj, also not to forget that Vanraj was a gem of a person and only wished for her happiness (despite him knowing that she is going to leave him alone). Even if she did love Sameer, one can always fall in love again. Love can happen anywhere and anytime. The last lines Nandini says to Sameer expressed it all.


The film was about Nandini and her quest for love. She was the main protagonist. The character growth was tremendously portrayed, and IMO it is one of the best written female lead characters of Indian cinema.

Those saying the actual end sucked, CLEARLY didn't get the movie.

You are right..HDDCS was clearly inspired by Na Hanyate...There are soo many sequences in the movie which is direct copy of the book specially the love of young age, library scene, chilli eating scene, father promising the lover not to keep in contact with the girl and so on.
Only thing doesn't match is the search for her lover immediately after marriage. It starts much much later.


coz its a Hindi movie, how many Indian movies can be made with characters where the heroine in her 50s travels to paris to meet her first love, with her husband, while she already has grandchildren??

Also the protagonist was quite happy with her marriage because she would fall in love with her husband, who was a complete contrast to her dictatorial father, and loved and respected her.
But romantic movies would need the angst .

Anyway, had this movie been made now, in 2015, there would have been a chance nandini would be in her 40s or late 30s atleast, but then no way.

IMo thats why it is a bit difficult to understand the growth of Nandini. Her growth as a person is accelerated in the movie.

I have read la nuit bengali, (translation), no wonder Maitreyi Devi had to write Na Hanyate.

Almost all people, no matter how blissfully married often have a "young love" that they pine for as a "one that got away".

It doesn't mean they are unfaithful, don't love their spouses or are unhappy. Some maybe. Mostly it is bittersweet nostalgia. The first crush, the first boyfriend/girlfriend, the person you lose your virginity to, they all embed in the memory due to the coming of age experience they represent. The human emotion of wondering what if. In literature and cinema across the world there are many tales of people reuniting with a past love in a later stage of life. Sometimes they are aided by their children or grandchildren.

Indian cinema has always shied away from it because for some reason the fact that people had affairs before marriage or think of someone else is too scandalous or immoral. They paint human emotions as binary - love/lust, spouse/other person without realizing in reality, emotions have a whole range in between.
