I really appreciate the straightforward writing and its bold take on the societal issues that everyday people face.

However, I feel like the messages come across a bit too preachy, especially when delivered by the young kids on-screen. It's hard to believe they'd really understand the heavy topics they're talking about at such a tender age.

On the flip side, I found the simple, silly romance between Shahrukh and Kajol to be charming. Sure, it's a bit cheesy, but there's a sweetness to it that I genuinely liked.

Honestly, their relationship was what I found most endearing, not so much the kids.

Make no mistake, they did a decent job, and I wouldn't fault the child actors for the reservations I have, they did what they were simply asked of.

Still, I wish the director had allowed the children's innocence and naivety to shine a little bit more, perhaps the decision to involve them as 'messengers' for his societal commentary wasn't a great idea after all.

While the execution may exhibit some rough edges, particularly in the non-romantic segments, the underlying idea and core message regarding the importance of our memories and past experiences are commendable.

Special recognition should be given to Srijit Mukherji, our esteemed 'First Boy' of the Bengali film industry, for envisioning and incorporating such an intriguing blend of romance and science fiction, seldom tried in our industry for your kind information.

I appreciate the portrayal of two distinct types of love through the experiences of two uniquely shaped couples...

One who has cherished every moment of their precious romance and is now yearning to reclaim fragments of their past to rejuvenate their priceless bond, while the other couple finds themselves in a more tragic situation. Despite sharing a bedroom and the same closet, their connection remains superficial, with their priorities, thoughts and feelings misaligned, leading to a perpetual struggle to 'get closer' in the truest sense of the word.

The writing effectively highlights this contrast among four individuals who, despite their stark differences in demeanour, are united by a common thread of connection, enriched by soothing songs, captivating score, and an enchanting monochromatic set-up that either threatens or promises a 'fresh start' for each one of them.

That said, I feel somewhat reserved about the climax. In the concluding moments, I believe a greater infusion of creativity could have enhanced the emotional impact, as the end resolution felt rather lacklustre in comparison to the broader context of the storyline.

I am typically drawn towards discourses that care to explore philosophy, symbolisms and particularly the themes of existentialism, as these subjects are profoundly intriguing and stimulate my brain and thereby my chain of thoughts.

However, I prefer such connotations to be presented with subtlety and grace, rather than being overtly explicit or forcefully imposed. Unfortunately, "Life of Chuck" falls short in this regard, as its overpowering, at times tiresome narration persists throughout the movie, from beginning to end, an approach I seldom appreciate in cinematic storytelling where the synergy of sound and visuals should ideally acts as messengers of these elements.

That said, the fundamental concept of the human brain constructing its own world through memories and experiences, encapsulating in the idea of our mind "Containing Multitudes," hit a deeper chord. I only wish that those thoughts and ideas were expressed in a more restrained and understated way.

P. S. Loki got moves, what has Thor got? :D.
