Storyline is intriguing 

Can’t wait to see the trailer of this movie 

Shouldve been done by Rani instead.

It does sound very intriguing, however I’m a bit weary of the casting. Kareena is a great actress no doubt, but the part of the description talking about immigrant experience gives me pause. Can someone who was born and raised, and now lives, in luxury of their own country really understand the immigrant experience?  I guess time will tell.  

That's nice to know. Although, the list I was reading this morning didn't mention this film.

I think it just boils down to the director IMO. If he understands the experience, the actors will just dance to his tunes.

Director and producer quite hype about her performance

I just googled Hansel Mehta’s biography and apparently he worked in Fiji before moving back to India and becoming a filmmaker.  So he’s certainly had the immigrant experience, to an extent at least.  

Ekta talks about Kareena’s portrayal of grief (the synopsis mentions losing a child). I don’t doubt that at all. Like I said, Kareena is a very good performer.  

This sounds cool and I have been to High Wycombe

Looks interesting and Kareena looks the part. Will be an emotional rollercoaster for sure.
