Smile Please

With Mukta Barve in a movie, one can rarely go wrong. She proves that when it comes to acting skills, she has got what it takes to be beyond brilliance. Lalit Prabhakar is impressive as Viraj. Every character serves a purpose. A good movie overall.

I loved the movie. All characters are fantastic in their performances. The story is very touching.

Kudos rhe team Smile Please Brilliant acting and Brilliant Story.

A middle aged fashion photographer, professionally very busy, separated from a demanding husband and a teenage daughter displays first sign of dementia that sets the story penned by director Vikram Phadnis and set to dialogues by Irawati Karnik. There comes to live as a PG Viraj who develops sympathy and soft corner for Nandini and helps her to deal with the dreaded condition. Mukta Barve is fantastic in the role of Nandini and carries the film on her shoulder without getting it mushy. Her face as she progresses through the film displays the slow setting of the tragedy until she forgets the name of her benefactor friend, the paying guest. The transition brought about on the face by Mukta is so subtle, so superb. Support from supporting cast is fine, the cinematography in soft colours against a dark tragedy is pleasing. The movie touches the corners of your heart and may rush you to a corner to wipe a tear or two. Cudoes to Vikram Phadnis the director and writer, Barve and the rest.

Looks like this movie is copied from the 2014 film "Still Alice". Wished it was an original
