Having read through the reviews at this movie I am amazed that some people felt the lead character was a nasty/selfish person. If that is the main takeaway then I think you missed a big point of the film, and that is that EVERYONE has issues. Those people who wrote these reviews seemed to think badly of Kalki's character simply because of some of the ways she behaved - as though 'disabled' people are supposed to behave by some kind of superior set of values. To those people I suggest you watch it again and see her as a human being and realize she IS more than her disabilities.Personally, I found it to be a superb movie. From the script writing through the cinematography to the acting. There were some seriously strong performances and not just from Kalki Koechlin who, quite frankly, deserves an Oscar for her performance.There's so much to like about this film and so little to dislike and it is very thought-provoking, which has to be a good thing. As others have pointed out it is definitely not a masala movie and as there are some mature themes in it, I wouldn't say it was family viewing, unless your kids are old enough.

A truly brave and brilliant story to explore and overcome different situation of life especially when the world does not consider as 'normal'. The plot of movie revolves around an Indian girl with cerebral palsy comes to US for her studies and tries to find way to lead her life. She met many people there and finally meet a Pakistani blind girl and they decide to become complementary to each other. Apart from this, the role played by mother is indeed powerful and necessary in movie which always gives power to her daughter and support her in every step of her life. Movie breaks a taboo about homosexuality practices and how the other people thinks about it. Movie depicts two scenario- one in India and other in US. It shows how situation acts differently on a mind of self- fighting disabled person who strives for a normal life. Most importantly it shows how homosexuality can be actually be helpful to overcome repression and frustration for those people who are neglected by society and other 'normal' people. It is Hippocratic that we just think and debate over the thing that homosexuality should be allowed or not (especially in India) but we don't think about the alternatives for the people who are actually suffering from this. This reminds me of the movie- "Memories in March" (www.imdb.com/title/tt1895476), which is another powerful movie focusing on the delicate relationship between two people that is considered as unusual in society. I recommend to watch that movie too if you like this one. A beautifully written movie with powerful story line and brilliant cast (Kalki, No one can do this better than you!!) which make us think about the difficulty of lives and delicate emotions of a significant part of population. Overall, It is one of those movies which can be placed in the category beyond 'excellent'.

Kalki Koechin is back after a long time, the actress is best in such films and she yet again proves her mark. The film tells a different story of a girl who has celebral palsy and later she comes to know that she is a transgender which is very unique for bollywood. The film dares to defy the stereotype and should be lauded for that. The film is well handled and well writtenDirection is good Music is okayKalki is awesome yet again in a challenging role, Revathy strikes yet again and she is awesome, rest are all good in their roles special mention must be given to Sayani Gupta as Khayum,

Kudos to the team who went deeply into the hearts of the physically and mentally disabled people for knowing their life. Some people choose their life in their own way and some don't have choices Kalki a talented music composer is very confused in her relationship being a mentally challenged girl all she wants who should take proper care of her. Initially she had a normal relation , then comes the homosexual part , then Bisexual and at last being asexual . Kalki a brave character tells the world even a gay or a lesbian or a normal person carry emotions with them. Every one should have done a "Yeh Jawani Yeh Deewani" but "Margaritta with a straw" none other than Kalki would have done it. Matured acting , brilliant direction and superb star cast made the movie worth watching at the theatre.
