Move Review: Waiting

Waiting: Movie Review

2 strangers, 2 lives, 2 stories, 1 connection.

Waiting is a movie which has a simple plot of two different people having everything different except one thing – their hospitalized loved ones.

A situation of a newly married wife whose husband has met with a serious car accident and the life of a 65 year old man whose wife is in coma since 6 months are beautifully portrayed by Anu Menon (Director).

An unlikely friendship of two people coming from two different walks of life is quite interesting and engaging.
This film while watching hinted me for another unlikely intimate relationship between the two for making it just another predictable film showing the embarrassment and guilt of the two towards their spouses.

But this film had something different message for the audience.

Life is about hope and waiting, taking some decision and again waiting for its result. Although this film had everything but its bit indication towards an artistic and its ending justifying the title ‘waiting’ makes it a cup of tea that is probably not for everyone.
A good piece of direction can be felt by watching this film, showing the incidents of two people at different intervals and almost in a single frame is commendable.

The film is well connected and does not over exaggerate the emotional and confessing scenes.

Honestly speaking about the performance of the two protagonists, every single viewer of the film was convinced and amazed. I think every second person could relate him/herself to the film for it showed the mentality of two different generations, and its addition with the natural acting made the audience believe that two such characters really existed for those 98 minutes.

A must watch for people looking for some different out of the box entertainment.
