Three of Us

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...

"Three of Us" is like a warm hug that makes you genuinely smile, even though it has a somewhat sad feeling. The movie feels personal because the characters take you on a stroll down memory lane. Shefali Shah is amazing as she shares the protagonist's childhood memories. Jaideep Ahlawat is just as good as the protagonist's old friend, and Swanand Kirkire does well alongside these strong performers. The music and environmental sounds make the scenes even better. It's a movie that feels emotionally immersive and leaves you wanting to experience something beautiful, something sad, and something deeply personal.

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?

It's the most devastating tale about the human condition & yet so hopeful & positive.

I've had my heart broken a million times through the movie yet ended up thoroughly loving it .

I'll remember it for the sparkle in Shefali Shah's eyes. They are empty and expressive at the same time. She is one of the finest actors in Hindi cinema.

I'll also remember it for Jaideep Ahlawat's smile. His calmness and body language makes him completely suitable for romantic roles.

Together, these two power house actors are a delight to watch on screen.

Ably supported by Swanand Kirkire in the quintessential role of the husband who cares and respects his wife. There's one conflict scene for him in which he forces a fight with his wife. He is fantastic in this heart-wrenching scene. As also throughout the film.

There's not one high-pitched dialogue in the entire film. Everything is subtle and understated.

The Ferris wheel scene in the final act is film-making at its absolute best.

I feel this is Director and Cinematographer Avinash Arun's best work, yet. And, he already has a repertoire of brilliant work. The cinematography is simply breathtaking. He's also contributed to the screenplay alongwith Omkar Achyut Barve and Arpita Chatterjee. It has a beautiful background score by Alokananda Dasgupta, which is only used sparingly giving lots of scope for silent moments.

In this slam-bang, life-in-quick cuts world of movies this film is refreshingly different and stands apart. It is poignant and without any of the usual cliches.

But it may not appeal to everyone.

It is an experience to be appreciated on the big screen. Three of Us is worth every rupee spent.

There is no doubt that it is one of the best movies among the best three movies of 2023.

More to say about the BGM. Impossibly good Absolutely perfect. While BGM is good in most movies, Foley work is not very good. But there was no mistake here.

We all know that Shefali Shah is a very classy actress. Here again she recognized her caste. I am surprised to see her. If you put her in any container, she can take the form of that place. Which is the best quality of a great actor or actress. I think the movie would have been wonderful without Shefali Shah. The character is made for Shefali Shah only. The fact that she dances so well would have remained unknown without watching the movie.

Shefali Shah always needs a good actor to accompany her. The movie is also perfect in character selection. Jaideep Ahlawat. I think Jaideep Ahlawat is an underrated actor. It is unfortunate that Indian cinema could not use him properly.

Not mentioning the cinematography would be unfair to the movie. The location is very well chosen.

I think this is the best movie of 2023. I was forced to give 10 out of 10 to be perfect in all aspects. Highly recommended.
