Review of Heart of Stone

I am Indian and I needed subtitles to understand what Alia Bhat was saying ;-D. Netflix, we get it, you included an Indian actor for the sake of diversity and, ahem, to capitalize on the very large (and growing) Indian subscriber base. From YouTubers to OTT platforms, everyone wants to cash into this resource. I get it, but then at least take the trouble to flesh out the Indian (or foreign) characters to do justice to that decision. Take an actor who suits the role - physicality, voice, appearance, age. Also, very important, and get this Netflix, the audience needs to be able understand their English, accent and all! She may speak that fast in real life, but on screen her dialogues were incomprehensible. It came across almost cartoonish! I don't understand how Netflix team could overlook such an obvious mistake! Outside of that, my fellow reviewers have eloquently pinpointed all the other flaws in the film, and I agree wholeheartedly with them.
