Barsaat Ke Din Aaye

Nice love story

I watched this movie on 12 oct 2013 and found it really pleasing. Nice story and pain is beautifully portrayed by actors.

Sometimes I felt that the story is bookish, but as I have felt such things... like "Jb hum mile the tb bhi brsaat ho rhi thi aur aaj bhi brsaat ho rhi hai"... but the thing is that,, I have also felt such situations which looks like bookish but they happen in real when you love someone truly... So I don't consider that a bookish thing....

I liked the concept and this movie left an open question.......

1) If Kajal truly loved Aarav, she won him.....

2) Aarav loved Kajal that's why he went again to his wife.....

3) Aarav loved Anna.... Also Anna loved him by true heart.. then why fate decided to play with Anna...

We truly love but sometimes we don't get the one we love... its not that Anna's love was lesser than Kajal.. both were very good and loved aarav from bottom of heart.. but fate decided to give Aarav to Kajal... and left Anna in pain....

Anna said in the end....... "Aarav loves me a lot.. its just he loves Kajal a little more".

I hold my wife with tears in eyes.....
