This review makes me believe that many dont even know how anxiety feels like ? yes her boyfriend might lose job, her studio might get closed , there are more than enough reasons for a person suffering from General anxiety disorder . How can a normal person ever understand how anxious brain operates? What is normal for everyone looks like a mountain for an anxious person so by calling her control freak you are basically discrediting people who suffer from anxiety on day to day basis . And one has to be kidding to say that she should have known why her mom died or investigated .. she was a kid and merely thinking about the moment her mother died gives her PTSD and such ppl try to avoid thinking about it rather going on investigating about it .Originally posted by: _symphony
All over people are saying the movie deals with complex emotions which I totally disagree with. Actually this is the irony and the reason the makers had thought a portrayal like this will click with the millennials. Because we are a petty and an open ended generation. We don’t know what satisfies us. We just want to keep chasing because well that’s what brings the rush but as soon as we are faced with the mildest inconveniences, we make life altering decisions at a spur of the moment.
What’s complex in it when 99% of millenials are the same😂 Selfish, petty and chasing the unachievable. Its quite dumb for a 30 yo Alisha to believe her mom committed suicide because her dad made her move from Mumbai to Nasik. No reference was given to this story (Despite this being shown as a reason of major trauma for the protagonist) It was nowhere stated that Deepika’s mother was obsessed with money or property or she had any big dreams which she was devoid of by bringing her to Nasik. Hence within half an hour into the movie it was clear her mother had someone in Mumbai she loved and couldn’t live without. Supposedly righteous Deepika shouting on a rather slout Naseer was a dead giveaway the narrative is gonna take a 180 degree turn.
While I agree it is very easy for a kid to relate to a mother’s trauma and not to a father’s because father’s dont reveal their emotions but still moving from Mumbai to Nasik as a reason of suicide and basing a very smart woman’s entire anxiety on it made less sense to me and I found it to be a very loose plot point.
Its funny how when Naseer accepts in front of Deepika that yes her mom cheated him, she immediately removes all her allegations on him and feels sorry for mistreating him but she never feels sorry for her cousin like she feels for Naseer. She did the same to Ananya’s character what her mom did. Situational morality - Again a very not so complex and commonly found trait of millennials.
Siddhant’s character was anything but complex. Though people are at times caught up between right and wrong or may be two rights and two wrongs but he was clearly an opportunist and plain selfish. Went where he saw benefit.
Ananya and Dhairya didn’t have much to do they were just normal mediocre people caught in first world problems like mujhe kam nahin party karni hai and I have to plan my wedding type log.
My final review of the film would be that it made me feel very petty as a millennial . Funny how we totally change our moral compass even with the slightest of inconvenience. Funny how we give so much importance to ourselves that we are ok with any bullshit if someone chooses us. Funny how we always expect sympathy in the name of mental health and anxiety( Not trying to mock real mental health issues here) but i hate when first world problems are deemed as trauma or character traits. Deepika is shown like a girl who always expects things to be perfect or settled or in place. When her bf doesn’t have a job she has anxiety, when her studio closes she has anxiety. Basically she is a control freak and that somehow doesn’t relate to her mom’s death. No connection! Did she ever try to find out why exactly her mom committed suicide. Generally people who seek medication for mental illness also see therapist and the first line of treatment is talking the patient through his past life and then medicines come in picture. Deepika is only shown reflecting on her trauma as a kid. But she never tries to relate present with that trauma. She never tries to notice that her dad never mistreats her or that she can ask about her mom from her aunt or Ananya. Rather Ananya’s character is more self aware and trying to make the mends or reason out always.
This is just a wannabe movie which has jumbled up all the buzz words like suicide, anxiety, messed up, startup, investment, infidelity and definitely it buzzes with the audience. It’s actually a mirror that what a petty, weak and anxious generation are we. Not an iota to be proud of! Yup roz yacht pe ghumna is a first world problem and please dont make it a reason for mental trauma ki meri cousin ke paas hai mere paas nahin like are you serious?! Kaunse privileged world mein rehte hain aap?
