7/10
good movie overall, but I found one of the main characters to be insufferable!!

I enjoyed this movie overall... It was gratifying to see the main character gain confidence in herself. What I didn't enjoy was that her husband never seemed to treat her with respect -- the initial description of the movie says something like, she endures "small slights" from her husband.... to me they didn't seem small, especially since they were relentless. A stranger on a plane (Amitabh Bachchan) treated her 100% better than her husband. Then a man in a class she took also was very respectful of her...maybe the husband was considerate of her when they were courting, or you'd have to wonder why she ever married him!? unless it was an arranged marriage. It was a movie with a strong positive focus on the female lead character, but for me it would've been a lot stronger if she either left or even considered leaving the husband. (but then it wouldn't maybe be true to the Indian custom of her generation).
