One would expect a storyline like this to be an emotional experience. But I had a hard time feeling for the characters. I read a LOT of reviews where people said they couldn't sleep after watching this flick. Sorry, just couldn't feel that way. I watched it, and forgot abt it. Didn't find it emotionally engaging enough.....which is typical of movies directed by SLB who once again focuses more on the technical aspects of the movie then the human side of it. Now, I'm not saying Black's a DUD. Far from it, in fact. The cinematography is brilliant, even if it sometimes takes the focus away from the narrative. The performances are legendary and clearly the heart and soul of the movie. Rani and AB deserve all the accolades they get. The little girl, although a tad overrated IMO, was good too. But still, the movie is lacking that "juice" where you instantly fall in love with everything - ESPECIALLY the characters and their lives.
Overall, good, but not THAT good.
