DOn't know why this is rated so low by so many people, may be they don't want to see the work from maker's percepective, rather than self.
offcourse the novel is great and the way it's put in front of camera is also great.
Performance wise, Lata is brilliant. She stepped up her performance from Flames and shes looking so beautiful and apt to the character.
Every one ese performance is also very good. Lata's mother, Ram kapoor, Nawab sahab, his son, Tabu, the shoe maker, Kabir, Ami and hell eveyerone is just superb..
