User Reviews

A women's desire is more than just having children!

This movie successfully explores the regressive Indian sexuality and especially women's sexuality. The first part direced by Anurag Kashyap was really commendable with terrific performance by Radhika Apte. The second part directed by Zoya Akhtar was just okay. I loved seeing Manisha Koirala after a long time with a powerful role. The best part although was Karan Johar's which was hilarious and at the time had a beautiful message which is also my title for the review. One scene from the movie reminded me of a similar scene in Veere di wedding which was pathbreaking. 1st part- 4 stars 2nd part- 3 stars 3rd part- 3.5 stars 4th part- 4.5 stars
