You just watch and get along with it. A movie to watch once again if you just leave everything and go as the tide or the intensity in the movie takes you at its own pace. Background score and cast is the most refreshing part.
You dont need big stars to make a great movie . Anyways big stars dont make good movies nowadays . ONCE AGAIN made me smile with simplicity and great acting .
Plot:
Romance springs between Tara, a widow restaurateur, and a divorced actor Amar. Tara supplies food to to Amar, they talk over the phone and almost after an year of just talking, they decide to meet. Their romances uncovers and is not taken well by Dev, Tara's son and to top it, Amar is not ready to get into relationship. How the story unfolds is the rest of the story about...
What worked well? 1. Lead actors: Shefali Shah as Tara and Neeraj Kabi as Amar have literally lived the characters. They are so seasoned actors that you can only expect magic from them. The film shows how Shefali Shah as an actress has been under-rated. Her eyes speaks the dialogue and some of the scenes gets a lift just because of her performance. She is amazing!!! 2. The film doesn't have music all the time and largely relies on the silence. Similarly it heavily relies on actor's expression than dialogues. Both have worked well. BGM, wherever used, is excellent and will make you hum even after watching the movie 3. Excellent camera work: Mumbai nights have been beautifully captured What didn't work well? 1. It takes time and is very slow. Though it's just 1 hr and 45 mins, you will feel it's more than that. 2. This film is to be seen in a very calm and serene mood. You will either like it completely or dislike it completely.
I can say it's technically an another scenario of movie "The Lunchbox" where lead characters meet.
A must watch for drama lovers. It's a performance packed mature romance drama and a very feel good film albeit a bit

Nowaday movie lack lot of simplicity. This movie offers you exactly the same. These two characters don't speak much but they say so much through their silence.. it's hard to find such talent..I felt butterflies after ages..just fall in love once again..
The leads are major stars, and the film is enjoyable to watch them develop their characters. But both the writing and direction meander and stop and start to such an extent the film became annoying, even boring. And after all the misdirections, I didn't believe the ending at all.
