Words can't describe how happy I was when the credits of this film rolled in. Finally, an indie film from my homeland that respects the craft of filmmaking and tries to service it. A film that doesn't try too hard and a film that is actually Indian in its core. And Three of Us is that film.
There's a certain sort of comfort to be found in this film. This film inherently wants you to soak in India. It wants to immerse you in the culture and make you fall in love with it all over again. The long drawn shots, the conversations and the portrayal of the natural way of life, makes you fixated on the beauty of our land and the people. It's not just Shailaja who is rediscovering her hometown, but it's also us who get to look at it with a delicate set of eyes and rediscover what was once lost in the rush of life.
Avinash Arun's Three of Us is a harrowingly beautiful and a poignant tale of finding yourself after a diagnosis of one of the worst and most heartbreaking diseases known to man - dementia. This tale of trying to gather your memories before the disease overcomes you explores many facets of life and takes you on a journey that reminds you to slow down, sit, love and enjoy what you have.
Not enough could be said about the direction and screenplay. Sky was the limit after Paatal Lok for Avinash Arun, but with this film he not only touches the limit but goes beyond it. The atmosphere he manages to create makes it irresistible to not get lost in the town of Konkan.
What I think was one of this film's greatest feat is the thread of stories that unravel and reveal information that we are hearing for the first time and so is Shailaja. We get to experience the wave of emotions that the lead is feeling and in some way get to be part of her emotional sphere, further enhancing the immersion and draw of this film. I was looking at this film with the same eyes and mind as Shailaja and I think that filmmaking genius.
Speaking of Shailaja, played by Shefali Shah gives us a performance of a lifetime. Her approach to the character made the film what it is and this word which I keep using to describe the film, "delicate", come to mind. Because that's what it was, delicate and thoughtful portrayal. Another one of the shining stars of this film was Jaideep Ahlawat, who I absolutely fell in love with over the course of 100 minutes of this film, I want to commend the screenwriters for developing a healthy and effable Indian male model who is wholesome and respectful and it never comes across as too try hard, in fact it might just be one of the best portrayals on screen of a character such as his. Special mention to Swanand Kirkire, one of the most talented people to grace this industry. Singing, songwriting, screenwriting and acting, this man excels in all.
If I could, I would show this to each and every person working in the industry. It's a shining beacon of what Bollywood should stand for and strive for. Three of Us achieves something that I thought was unachievable. It has the same touch and the same way of delicate handling as a Satyajit Ray film. It reminisces of an era of Indian filmmaking long gone by and not only pays homage to but successfully moves the genre forward.
Needless to say, watch this movie and spread the word about it. We need more stuff like this and we have to let them know what we like.
Definitely worth watching, without a doubt.

The movie creates an impact on the viewers. Shefali ,Jaideep, Swanand..have done justice to the roles, its a slow paced movie, with perfectly matching emotions, memories, background music, scenes story and poetry. The Story is a pursuit for Childhood memories in the midst of todays world of Dementia.
Its a step, seldom people taken in the world of today.
Why should we go back,We should we remember the past? Why take steps back? Is there any value? Is it worth the time? What do you stand to gain go back? Why waste time? Do we need to go back and undo things? Do we need to say Sorry for mistakes of the past?

Three of Us is simple, straightforward, and realistic storytelling done right. The plot isn't pathbreaking given there are recent examples worth referring to, but it's the film's picturesque Konkan setting, soothing soundscape, and lovely performances that make it memorable.
It helps that the director in Avinash Arun takes precedence over the cinematographer, as he's not only able to treat us to beautiful frames, but also able to tell a moving story about someone looking to reconnect with their past, with the likelihood of forgetting it all again. Shefali Shah makes even the gentlest of smiles and glances mean something more in a performance that warrants every bit of attention it gets. She's already on a fantastic run lately, and I'm sure she'll keep delivering solid work.
Jaideep Ahlawat backs her up in a wonderfully written supporting role (with a spectrum of emotions), and he carries the poetic demeanor with consummate ease. Kudos to the man for having taken on roles that bring out the versatility in him - An Action Hero, this, and Jaane Jaan immediately come to mind. All these characters are demanding in different ways, and they're all safe in Jaideep's hands.
Swanand Kirkire is also endearing and sweetly relatable in the role of Shefali Shah's husband, and during their low-key exchanges, there's an irresistible next-door charm to them. While the use of music/score is commendable in certain portions, what I truly want to appreciate is the use of ambient sound. There's a scene with Shah's character sitting at a park in Mumbai, the city sounds in that particular scene evoke the feel of tidal waves, and it acts as a precursor for when the couple actually visit the Konkan coast.
Some scenes feel slightly rough around the edges, especially one where the husband-wife conversation displays signs of heat (but is defused shortly after) in the pre-final act, along with the one at the hut with an elderly woman. On the other hand, there are some absolutely brilliant stretches of writing and acting. The ferris wheel sequence is symbolic of the circle of life. It's true; the older we get, the yearning for home, and the opportunities to reconnect with childhood friends & memories keeps getting stronger. Also, I like how dementia isn't the film's centerpiece, although its undercurrent is felt throughout.

I have been waiting for this one too release on OTT for the longest time since 2022. And boy, what pure representation of cinema this is. Absolutely a gem. And I wonder how Shefali nails it every freaking single time. No drama, no loud dialogues, only pure acting with her eyes and expressions. Beautiful. Shefali is One of the finest actors we have today.
A perfect cast, very delicately directed and the cinematography is just beautiful, every frame is a masterpiece. Soothing and warm. The small town vibes, the beaches, and the sounds. Makes a way right through the heart and comes out as tears.
A must watch. And real cinema after ages!! Great job.

This film was made with a very heart-touching and gentle observation of human relationships. It takes perspective on experiences of loss, trauma, and healing. The lighting and angles in this film are very natural. Every frame speaks to the character's emotions...
Mesmerizing performances by Shefali Shah, Jaideep Ahlawat and Swanand Kirkire. The expression on Shefali's silent face is so powerful that you can understand what she wants to say. Jaideep Ahlawat, one of the finest actors of Bollywood, his every gesture, his expression, his every line with brilliant editing is extraordinary to read. You may feel that every relationship cannot be described in words...Especially the poetry recited by Jaideep is so impressive that the entire film becomes poetic...
The natural and instinctive understanding portrayed by Sarika , Pradeep's wife (Kadambari Kadam) demonstrates the strength of the finest bond they share as a husband and wife...
"Tomorrow will only come when today is played out"
""No one remembers their daily life...We forget as time passes,we change" Are the most valuable takeways to watchout for...
