Review of Mai

Mai (2013)
7/10
A subtle tale on old age...
19 November 2022
Just wondered why imdb users rated this film so poorly and gave poor reviews. Well, the film is nothing like that. It's a subtle and nuanced drama about the problems of old age, in which Asha Bhonsle debuts in acting in a lead role. And to one's surprise, she just sparks in acting, much than singing.

The film centers around a mother in her late sixties suffering from Alzheimer's, just to be left by her son leaving the eldest daughter to look after her against her family's will. It's one of those movies in which controlling your tears isn't very easy as it's a story that happens around us with victims and victimizers within us. Technical aspects doesn't matter for such films. Perhaps it's a marvelous film on motherhood if you delve into it's storytelling.

Rating: 2 stars out of 4.
