Srini: Thank you. So we agree to disagree. And your comment was as clear as crystal, too!
Paul: Thanks for reading. Yes, i agree that movies like these need to bring in the moolah to encourage good filmmakers to continue enthralling us. Honestly, i never felt the movie was too long and neither did my parents... in fact, they were not aware that the movie was that long until i told them a read more...

I agree with Paul... no pain, no gain.... and the cycle only repeats itself... if you've earned it the easy way, you will also lose it just as tamely! The moral of the story? Do what you are good at and spend whatever you earn judiciously and within your financial boundaries...

Coolwater: I agree with you Ava... i am going to see the movie again on the big screen with my friends (the last time, i went with my family).

Thank you Archer! Don't know if i would call myself a 'good film critic'. I would rather call myself a film buff. And all film buffs are good for the growth of cinema as an art form.

Micky: I am not sure about that. Because on the same day that i went to Innovative, i had also gone to PVR to watch Welcome (where i ended up watching TZP coz they didn't have a show).

Nidhi: Thanks! The best way to tell if SHaadi Point is a success is this tiny little fact that they closed down their office in the most posh neighbourhood of Bangalore.
Thanks for the tip, ranjan. Maybe i should try there.
Monica: The reason the film touches a chord with everyone is also coz there are very films based on children that strive to teach the adults anything... its largely escapism and entertainment, but no insight. This film does just that and is entertaining, too!
