astitva !!

This post comes from Redmond,my current location.

Few days back, I happen to watch a movie "Astitva".

"Astitiva" is the story of Aditi (Tabu), a housewife and a mother to grown-up Son.
She is married to self-centered business man Shrikant Pandit(Sachin Khandekar) for almost 3 decades now.Her life revolves around making meals,reading newspaper, doing normal domestic chores with no other interest in the outer world and she is happy this way.
Well, the movie starts when Aditi receives a huge will from her Music Guru ,Malhar Kamat,with whom she did not have contact for more than two decades. Her husband ,who is in habit of writing dairy,gets curious and does investigation by reading his dairies.He has questions that concerns Tabu's fidelity and he rightly confronts her. She honestly tells him the truth and reasons of infidelity.He could not understand her at all and insults her in front of his friends. So far so good.
A man has spend more than 25 years of his life with woman and the way he disgraces her is totally unfair.He could never ever understand his own wife and her viewpoint.
Aditi explains that starts of the marriage was shaky for both of them with Shri being busy in his work always and on his tours most of the times. She was at home alone and feeling lonely. She asks him if they could get child Or may be she could work to pass her time. He overrules both of the options and throws an option of learning music. Tabu makes relationship with his music teacher who had sensed her lonilness.She begets son from him. Now,he is died after naming her as heir. Still ,Shrikant fails to understand the situation and worried for reaction of whole world.

I liked end of the movie where Aditi answers all the questions of Shrikant , it is totally brillant.

Watch it some time for good quality and no-nonsense movie.
