    Amazing

    Listen Amaya has an amazing storyline with Acted by the great actors like Farooq Sheikh and Deepti Naval.

    The story say much things to society. Role played by Farooq Sheikh is amazing. No doubt he was a super fine actor. Deepti Naval played the role of Amaya's Mother is very well. overall film was amazing and liked the ending very much. Film was shot with a very low budget and this films is an example of great storyline, awesome acting and a perfect ending. Low budget makes it a very decent film.

    The starting of the film was OK as other films start but gradually it becomes interesting and twists in the film makes it more interesting.

    Swara Bhaskar who played amaya's role looks so cute in the film and adorable also. i feel its swara's best role she ever played.

    A microscopic vision on relationship and Life!

    A perfect enactment of relationships, family bonding & Life. Work of Farooq Shaikh and Deepti Naval do not require any adjectives. as there can never be enough!. Its a must watch for those who love to feel Life and Relationships dwell!. Just wonderful representation of life. The movie focuses on Relationships of a mother and daughter. Its shows how a vision of camera lens can reflect beautiful human heart. It teaches how a platform like coffee shop to can be a launch pad for life.It goes on to telling us to love overlooking the imperfections in human beings by loving the perfect hearts.

    You would love.

    Tribute to Mr. Farooq Shiekh......

    Farooq Shiekh has been one of the finest actors in Indian movies who defied the concept of face value on screen and boosted quality roles and performance. "Listen...Amaya" is a story between generation gap emanating the emotional complexity between matured parenthood and disturbed youth presented through a melodrama. The film though has a very non salable cast, performances of Farooq Shiekh and Deepti Naval is really worth praising. Perhaps one of the better movies they have given together after the 80s. Well, there is very little for the people going for commercial values like songs and dances and the pace of the drama is quite slow. But overall the good performances and the story is what you would remember of this film. Just watch this as a tribute to late Farooq Shiekh. You'll like it.

    Good film

    It is very good picture and all acting also super good. Dipti Naval and Farukh Sheik and Swara Bhaskar are too good also.

    All actors are telling story of girl who loves father and does not want her mother to forget him. So she is fighting with the mother and explains that she cant tell her friends about her marrying some other man, because she will be married soon.

    I think the issue is beautifully told and we should learn to love our parents and still have feelings for their life, because we will grow up and then how will they be alone?

    It is too good and I'm waiting for DVD for long time. My mother also seen film and father too because I send them the DVD after I saw it. They are also felt that it is a very good film.

    I like old song remix of ek larki, and will become my ringtone now :)

    Very good story and direction and acting, it is must watch for all children and parent.

    A hidden gem

    I have already watched this film three times from when the DVD was brought home. My favorite on screen couple of Farooque Sheikh and Deepti Naval have outdone themselves again! Swara Bhaskar plays her part so well, you want to slap her right across the face, almost willing Deepti Naval to do it for you and yet, when she finally breaks down in front of her mother - you can feel the tears start to prick too.

    What a lovely lovely film this is! I also hate it for making me so homesick right now that I want to jump onto the next flight to Delhi and stay there forever. All of my favorite hangouts are used in big bright technicolor in Listen Amaya and brings along with it a flood of happy memories. Golf links, Khan Market, Old Delhi, Chanakya Puri, uffff.

    If there is also one thing that I now want to do in my life, it is to run a coffee shop like Leela's and if I can, I want to name it book a coffee as well! :) Its the sort of place where I could spend days on end, not having to leave, being immersed in the books and making friends along the way. Idyllic life no? Jayant is such a gorgeous man, even with all of his wrinkles and chubbiness. He reminds me so much of dad, that I actually called him soon after watching the film, just to tell him that he means to world to me. Sentimental foolishness maybe, but so what?

    Listen Amaya almost takes you back in time, to an era where decency and kindness were normal. A space where people cared for what happened around them and their families, being aware of their actions and the results it would have on people that make a difference to them. It's such a beautifully told story that I found myself crying every so often that at one point a friend watching it with me was ready to hit me!

    The way Leela, Jayant and Amaya all overcome their inhibitions and reservations about what is actually a beautiful love story, will make a lot of people choke. The way the film ends, aptly encircles the way the film started; a daughter who loves her mother, but doesn't have the time to listen to her, to a daughter who loves her mother intensely and realizes that she needs to make that time very often.

    Beautifully done as a story and film. It made my day a couple of times over.
