After reading news reports that this movie will create a revolution of sorts in independent cinema and stuff like that, I went to see it last night. The premise of focussing on the lives of 3 people (who have/will be) obtaining a person's different organs through transplant - is very similar to Seven Pounds, and in fact Seven Pounds was way better in what it presented to the audience. This film is trying to question if the recipient of an organ transplant inherits any characteristics from the donor, but leaves it to the audience to frame their own spiritual, religious, emotional conclusions - which maybe new to people who grew up on Shah Rukh Khan films, but not to other broad-minded and rationally thinking individuals.
Even though some of the dialogues in the 2nd story of the saint were pretty captivating, I never understood its relevance to the ship of theseus ? In fact most of the thoughts worded in this film can be found in any spirituality/karma related texts or books written by swami vivekananda or in fact the bhagavad gita itself.
As I said earlier, people who have been spoon-fed with mindless action and romance films may find this film different, but honestly the matured audience can opt for some better films to see.
