WHAT DID I WATCH ON NETFLIX: "IS LOVE ENOUGH? SIR"


If you are widowed when you are 19 in a traditional Indian village, your life is practically over. That is the fate that befalls on Ratna who decides to move to Mumbai and becomes a domestic helper [READ: maid] to a rich architect, Ashwin. Ratna also has a dream to be a fashion designer and with her master's consent, she takes up part time tailoring classes. To cut the story short, Ashwin falls for his own maid but Ratna is confused and hesitant as she knows this is something unacceptable and will never end happily. She goes out of the apartment to Ashwin's dismay and that leads to the ending of the movie - which I will not tell. Living in two different worlds, will love be enough?

What I like about this movie is that it has no singing and dancing and running around the park and tumbling down the hill. The actress does not have to be sexy or beautiful with heavy make up or do lip sync to songs not hers. Everything is just so naturally done and I am thinking I am watching scenes taken from real life.

I am hoping for a sequel but definitely with more complications and conflicts - at the same time still praying for a happy ending for both the hero and heroine.
