I watched Kuch Naa Kaho (something like: say nothing more?) only last week from dvd. In the beginning I was fascinated by the intro, I liked it very much.
Enter Abhishek. On seeing him for the first time (and not being too familiar with the complicated multiple relationships between actors and actresses), I was quite surprised at how much he resembled his father, even his voice sounds like a younger version of his father’s.
Then the story unfolded. It was funny to watch how, still on the airport in NY, he asked Aish to give him her seat and she simply stood up from where she sat, not at all understanding him. After that, I think, the movie stopped being good. The story was all too predictable and Aish, in spite of being a single mother, was astonishingly passive and helpless. The idiotic attempt of her’s at boxing with her son! Only men can handle boys, right? Oh my.
And then, in the end, when her husband is back, she obviously stops living. Why does she allow him to grab at her in such a way after all these years? She should have kicked him out right away. I know, she does muster up some sense and courage in the end when she is much provoked by her unfaithful husband, but before that I became rather impatient with her.
