Interisting information (thanks)! So again there is a SRK movie where the woman gets her own agency and loving a woman means also respecting her wishes and personality even though it means to change the original folklore.
Well, I also felt compassion with the husband and I think that even the ghost sensed that it was time to give agency to him yet not an exclusive one - he still wanted to play a part in the couple's life. I guess, by deliberately entering the waterskin, he lost only his physical appearance but not his kind of love which he transfered to the husband before getting trapped in the waterskin.
There was another movie based on the same story in 1973.
How did this movie was purposed for Oscar I never know.
Problem was never the story, story was intriguing. But the execution, so boring and tedious.
Actually, that's what I liked about the movie.. I loved the slow pace. 😆
Thanks, Autumn Rose...and Mani Kaul in addition! I'll try to find it!
