I did: 6 out of 10. I just forgot to mark it bold (muäh, oder wie heißt das auf Englisch?) :) Anyway, thanks for this overview, it's quite interesting (that also counts for babaskos notice, btw). “…and sweet mirie has not told us her points” Hö?

Is that your translation from the old German review? I'd stick to the newer English one since it's, well, newer :) It's fun reading the reviews, spotting the differences and the similarities. I believe even though we all had some points we didn't like, the reviews in general were more favorable than the Indian ones at the time of the film's release. And deservedly so. About the glasses … I mentioned them in the summary (sort of) by referring to her as an „not-so-ugly duckling“. However, I didn’t think about stressing the point since I believed it might be an ironic hint towards all those „She’s All That“- or „Pygmalion“-kind of films. But perhaps Sanjay could elaborate that directly ... ? I agree with Beth that the chawl life itself is part of the charm of the film. It's a living space I am not used to and seeing a film set in this enviroment is already an interesting set up. Where did you get the first of my quotes?

I too feel the dramatic elements are somehow undermined a bit by the comedic, even though the comedy is so much stronger. Now that I think about it, I agree they weren't stitched together quite right. But then again, sometimes that's how life is - things just happen, without regard to sequencing or context or need - especially life in the chock-a-block chawl, where lives flow and jostle and intersect and spill over onto each other without regard for space or privacy.
