I am always biased when it comes to Farooq Shaikh films. He effortlessly eases into any role he takes on with his beautifully executed nuanced performances. This movie is no exception. As Jazz Jayant, Farooq once again delivers a heartwarming A+ performance.

The movie which gradually grows on you is a sensitive depiction of a mother-daughter relationship. The film deals with the insecurities faced by Amaya(Swara Bhaskar) the daughter, when she learns about the growing relationship between her mother (Deepti Naval) and her photographer friend (Farooq). The film is neither preachy nor over dramatized and takes you in with its beautiful depiction of human connections. There are many scenes where nothing is said, but a lot is conveyed simply via expressions. I loved every character in the film - each characters peels layers of emotions and helps build this beautiful thought provoking story-line. So Listen Amaya does make you stop and listen. By the way, beautiful shots of quaint bazaars in the Chandni Chowk, Hauz Khas and Khan market areas of Delhi.

Overall a beautiful film, subtle and sincere. Kudos to Geeta and Avinash Singh for creating this delicate masterpiece in their first attempt. I hope they make more films in the future.
