10/10
Landmark in Indian cinema
21 July 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Well to many of those who have not watched this movie the title may sound a little too much, but believe me having watched Hindi movies of all kinds of genre over all times this was one bold attempt by Shekhar kapur depicting how a relation between husband & wife hits rock bottom when wife comes to know about illegitimate son of his husband. the movie puts light how a small mistake could lead to a disaster and could ruin a life of a family. Don't miss this emotional movie that perfectly displays an estranged relationship of father and son. with time length of 140 odd mins, this masterpiece depicts various relationships within a family enlightening the relationship among children like how sensitive ,affectionate and how they grow up with their siblings and puts light into important things for them like birthdays, homework, competition and attention needed by them from their parents.

How in Indian societies hard cold wars between couples prevail, how they deal with various issues with their children, how they feel for children , but best part to me was how nasseruddin shah deals with shy kid jugal hansraj & how the kid starts feeling for nasseruddin shah. It is a rare Indian movie that breaks a viewer into tears but most importantly you will really feel yourself a kid who will be in search of love. It is a must watch for any Indian as movie perfectly portrays Indian society.I would have rated it 9/10. But because of the extremely beautifully shot emotional track "tujh se naraaz nahin zindagi.....", i am going with 10/10
