Akaash Vani - traditional yet contemporary

Just came back after watching Akash Vani...from the makers of Pyaar ka Punchnama - thats what got me to the theatre. The acting is average...yet there is something remarkable about the film.

Its a traditional film because the heroine sacrifices her love for the Izzat of her parents. But the film very solidly portrays the torture she goes through her married life and ends on a simple note.

The girl puts it very clearly to her parents that she cant live with her husband and wants a divorce... and without any much tamasha...moves out of the house...which makes the film contemporary. Though I guess its her love that gives her the courage to take up the matter with her parents and hubby...but still whatever the reason...the woman musters courage to go on in life...do her MBA and live life to the full.

Powerful scenes:

1. When the father of the girl cries after her elder sister runs away.
2. When the husband forces him on the girl first time...cant see it!
3. On the bridge Akash Vani - with Akash holding a rose in the mouth


Good story...could have been directed well.
