She’s the quintessentially wronged woman. Wronged by each of her six husbands. But really, the only crime that she can truly be charged with is that of refusing to resign herself to her lot. Misfortune clings to her with every choice of husband, and so what is a strong-willed woman to do but rid herself of an oppressive man even if it means gently leading each one of them to his death?!
Lots of shadows and silhouettes in the many-layered plot, so you’ve got to pay close attention, please! Sahib’s (Chopra) relationship with her protege is one of those mysterious ones that is useless trying to explain and understand. It is what it is, which is how some things in life are. And as for the ending regarding Husband Number Seven, well, without giving it all away, all I can say is that all’s well, and all ends well.
I found this to be quite an interesting story, especially coming from Bollywood. Miss Chopra, Bravo! You’ve been very impressive, and this might very well be the beginning of a versatile display of characters and a serious acting career for you that may go beyond the standard masala-movie genre.
