Your take on what the director / critics’ image of the target audience is thus interesting, but does it hold substance? This movie could be easily identified with by a modern day parent with an adult son or daughter, who in turn does not shy away from the taboos of the yester years. Who also have a healthy dialogue with their parents and like to talk to each other as equals, recognizing and respecting the adult in each other. Or is such a family only a myth? People need to only wake up to the world as it is today. I believe this was an attempt by the director to show the world as it is only to reassure the old timers that what they did was right, and this is how "love" is / must be. I am dying to see movies which talk about an individual who falls in love more than once without being made the villain. A movie that will show how each of these interactions only enriched his / her life and taught that individual and his / her ex valuable lessons about themselves and life in general. A movie where one sees this same individual living finally with one / many partners responsibly and in all honesty; all his / her past experiences only leading to a fuller and happy existence. Why do people so strongly believe that we can fall in love only once in our life? Why limit oneself? Why are movies made that only propagate and propound this theory? How will youngsters learn that life is also about moving on and rebuilding? Will Hindi cinema ever be mature enough to show such a theme? Will the audience that feels vindicated when fed on a heavy dose of drama take a moment to think, understand what it is to manage emotions, understand why that is necessary instead of being swept away by them all the time? These questions and many more swirled in mind as I lay in the arms of my 3rd love... Just thought I should share them with you and any who read your blog.
