YUN HOTA TO KAISA HOTA

An interesting movie. For a Hindi movie that is. We have so few good Hindi movies made that this one was a breath of fresh air. Of course I watched with high expectations since it was directed my Naseeruddin Shah, who happens to be one of my favorite actors of all time.

Four different stories, one event that shook the world…….. characters people can identify with. The funny thing was most people who have watched the movie have a tough time identifying with the character who is madly in love with an older woman. WHY??? Call me a hopeless romantic but maybe age didn’t play a role in this romance.

And I was really glad when Tilottama made it to her husband’s side. Another of my quirks. I love happy endings. So there was at least one in this movie and that kind of made up for the other tragedies.

Made me think, for most of us it was just another event that happened in the US but what if, like the characters in the film, the people involved were our friends, our relatives? WHAT THEN?
