After 'Iqbal', Nagesh Kukunoor scores yet again with a strong and sensitive subject. The film has its share of emotions without unnecessary melodrama, and also a strong dose of humour that doesn't seem forced at all. Brilliant work by this talented director!
One is not going overboard by giving it the highest rating but the film seems flawless with an unbelievable performance by Ayesha Takia. It's a pity that this hugely talented actress has been wasted in mindless commercial films before.
The story. It's about two women from completely different walks of life. Meera (Ayesha Takia) is a simple, conventional girl from a traditional Rajput family. Zeenat (Gul Panag) is an independent, self-assured young woman from Himachal Pradesh, who lives life by her own set of rules.
Both are happily married but their paths cross because of their husbands. Why? No, no, there's no extra-marital twist to the story. The two women go on to become friends and without being aware of it, Meera emulates some of Zeenat's ways.
