Ankhon Dekhi

Well, the movie started well enough and promised a lot. But other than its artistic simplicity and showcasing a low-class almost-below-poverty typical family in a Delhi suburb, there was nothing much in the movie. It was not heading anywhere. And it did not seem to be heading anywhere either. In fact, at interval, I was almost sure the movie was over, only to be surprised that there was one more hour left. Much of the scenes seemed unnecessary. But direction, acting, casting - they were all good. So, other than the story, everything else is good. One wonders what the intent of the movie was - other than to show life in its natural form, and ageing. Its not boring and some scenes are even captivating but at the end of the movie, I was thinking why did I see it. I would still say: Watchable when nothing else is there to watch.
Rating: Good
