A simple story and while the slow may feel like a bit of a slow burn, the movie is worth exploring.

So bad, so cliched, so forgettable that even though I watched it a day or two ago, I couldn't remember the name of the movie. The name also had no bearing to the movie itself. It was really a waste of time. Netflix originals continue to be horrible in implementation while having certain promise in plot.

A lovely, charming movie about the helpless fate that still faces most women in the Indian subcontinent and many other parts of the world, where her identity exists solely due to her husband and she becomes a persona non grata after his death. Our brave heroine becomes a political and familial football so fast it makes the head spin. Her suppressed mourning and unfulfilled marriage adds an undertone of sadness to the movie. The message is beautiful of course, seize your destiny - forge your own path. But her immense sacrifice for her adopted family in the end makes her a true saint.

In sending out a positive message, the film deliberately limits its own cinematic possibilities...

Malhotra steadily travels Sandhya's journey and studiously conveys her emotional ambivalence. By showing her as betrayed and bereft, the filmmaker pushes the audience towards sympathy for Sandhya...

Tame and retrograde by Western standards, a meandering soap opera with most of its rough edges worn off.
