What's the most touching moment of this movie?


For me it's couple of them infact.

When PK Dubey brings a Marigold Heart to Alice.
When Hemant Rai forgives Ria and says we can make life despite what happened.
When Lalit Verma's character makes a stand and asks Tej Puti to leave and tells Aditi that he is there for her and he believes her or to that extent.

I guess my couple means more than 2.

I think all the sequences between P.K. Dubey (the event manager) and Alice were the best moments of the movie. Everything about those scenes were perfect; loved the background music too! It was a really special part of the movie - almost like a short love story running parallel to the movie. Probably one of the best love stories I have ever seen on screen!

For me it's two moments, both of which you've mentioned:

1. Dubey and Alice's relationship. The marigold heart scene was the most dramatic, but what really drew me in were the more mundane moments leading up to him noticing her. Like when she asked him if he wanted fridge or tap water.
The sudden change in his countenance in reaction to her kindness was just amazing acting.

2. Ria's eyes when Lalit touches her head and, moments before, when he says "these are MY children...and I will protect them even from myself if I have to" was just profound.

3. I'll throw in a third. Not really "touching" in a strong, emotional way...but it was lighthearted and hopeful. The look between Umong (sp?) and Ria during the end credits.

For me, the most emotional scene was when the father of the bride stood up to the pedophile uncle and kicked him out of the wedding party. The look on his niece's face almost brought me to tears...it was as if, finally, the women of that family were seeing a justice enacted that they thought would never come.
