A poorly written critique coming from a place of extreme bias. The whole concept of the movie was how people come to Mumbai and live there for decades and still feel a sense of not belonging there while also feeling a sense of loss when they leave the city. It was shown by using the tools of cramped up space in Mumbai, a young love trying to find its place amongst the crowd, a class bias that pervades the city, and a town a few kms from Mumbai where the last finds her home. Ratnagiri was not shown to be free from problems- one very astutely shown was that of a man who probably would have died with no medical care had it not been for the presence of a nurse there that very moment.
The author is a moron…and pbly a modi & bjp bhakt or suck-up. The quality of life in mumbai is horrible even for upper middle class, despite higher salaries… forget abt lower middle class and the poor. We all know that.
We have many substandard film critics in our country, and i am afraid Rajesh is one of them. He has completely misjudged ‘all we imagine as light’ and narrate it as Mumbai vs. Ratnagiri. It’s about swimming against the tide. Come what may, when all of us are bound or rather forced to live in metro cities despite all odds and sometimes even in rather unhealthy, unhygeinic condition of our ancestral roots, these three ladies decided to get back to wilderness, get back to rural setting, getting back to beloved one at the exchange of economic gain, and embrace economic impoverishment and uncertainty. It’s a film about going against the current tide of market economics. Mumbai here is used as metaphore of exploitative system operates all over the world in the name of urbanization.
I cannot believe you have reviewed the movie with a lens of such prejudice that you even made ‘nature’ a cause of error in the directors opinion to keep a script. I mean like hats off to you dude. Do you think people can have sex in open places in Mumbai? Please do that and send me proof that you have done it – and let me know how comfortable it it. Living in a cosy appartment yourself, you are actually throwing tantrums about a movie that shows the harsh reality that you you dont want it to go out, even if it isnt your dirty laundry, just because you want to blame the director for being fool-hardy with her direction? What sort of a journalist are you? Learn to keep these opinions of yours in your pants please. No one can and will relate to it.
I can’t help but wonder craftly how you have weaved the director’s elite ‘institute’ to review a piece of work. So eager to bracket her as a ‘liberal’ who is not in touch with the ground reality.
So quick to form an opinion on the person and not the film, so happy to put people in boxes. J
Journalism really has seen such a shift since the advent of social media. Everyone with an opinion has found a platform to express.
Good times indeed 🙂
What a Non sensical thing to insinuate that “BJP/SS won the seat, so it’s conservative as hell” and “People would be even beaten up by residents for PDA”…
As a Maharashtrian resident, And frequent visitor of Ratnagiri…I have seen Girls wearing ‘Hot Pants’ to even remote temples and no one takes any “Objection”…
Opinion label doesn’t mean free pass to irrationality or absurdity…
So, election win by an AIMIM or I.N.D.I.A. (or any non- BJP/ Shiv Sena) candidate from Ratnagiri seat would have rendered it more liberal. Kudos to u. Hope u have much more creativity in store.
U must be aware both BJP & Shiv Sena don’t exist thr in ur dear pak/bangladesh, but still taslima has preferred BJP-lead india for assylum.
BTW what business do the election outcome has in a film’s review..? Ahh..yes it’s meant to be published in ‘The’ Print.
It’s a film by the woke, of the woke and for the woke. No wonder it’s winning awards at all film festivals across the world. Pretty much all film festivals are controlled by the Left-liberal woke crowd and they invariably select films which are representative of their idiotic ideology.
I watched the film and was thoroughly unimpressed. A very average film which is riding on the accolades showered by the woke brigade.

A highly prejudiced and superficial evaluation of a movie 👎
