Anwar Says: Euthanasia- right to die, a subject needed research and probably a more matured director. Revathi has been a terrific actor but direction is not a cake walk. Story borrowed from The Last Hurrah by Srikant Murthy with additional input by Kausar Munir has an over- stretched first half and use of ineffective and unnecessary songs . When a movie has enough to move people, there is absolutely no need to add more into it.
I would call it an overdose of emotion in the first half to the extent you feel like taking a loo- break. Only powerful performance of Kajol and Vishal Jerhwa, a born actor, tries to save the movie. In the second half the movie progresses with court and electronic media and relieves the audience from monotony , but that too in parts. Kajol's backstory not properly explained and what are her sources of paying hefty bills of hospital is mystery . What Revathi wanted to convey to create Amir Khan as a fictional character, only she knows. It's a sheer wastage.
Overall, a thought provoking subject , real touching moments and bravura performance but insipid script, opulence of same sequence and love of director to songs spoiled the dish. Watch it only for the actors. 2.5 out of 5 from me.
