Month of Madhu - Movie

 I guess we watched it for Swati but it turned out to be a very interesting movie in a different way. Haven't seen the different shades of love being explored so - it seems like a real story with real characters and has a dreamy and hazy feel about it.



The scene in the end when Madhu gives the ring back to Swati - the expression on her face - brilliant. And when he gives her the papers. Swati is unbelievably good. Thankfully there are those scenes when she plays her mischievous self and we are reminded of her as we know her.

'Can't blame you - you loved the way you knew how to love and I did the way I know how to'.

And the way the mother tells her son - everyone has grown up and moved on and you have remained exactly the same. How many mothers feel that way. How many sons feel like they have remained that way.

And how many remain that way really.  Something there reminded me of my mother who used to worry about me and my idealistic ways. I think I managed ok mom though I feel I have changed and not remained like Madhu.

But the way he wove a beautiful, disconnected tapestry and made it all come together is what's beautiful about the movie. Complex emotions of love - each has their own way. Loved it.
