    What a beautiful storyline!! She was called to help the Alzheimer's patient but instead she found help for her own depressed state of mind. Life comes with a lot of unexpected twists and turns at times. ❤
  • @priya18022011
    The Rule no. 1- “Tum jaise bhi ho…kaafi ho” such a deep message. Worth watching film. ❤
  • A son taking care of his father. That's us. That's who we are. We don't leave them behind. Thank you for this.
  • Beautiful characterization. She came to take care of and study a patient, but the patient treated her through his conversation. And what an ending.
  • We don't need to loose a person to know their worth...Loving each other when you have them along can make life more valuable...a adorable story 💗
  • Naseeruddin Shah's profound impact on the world of acting is a testament to his immense talent, dedication, and versatility. With his powerful performances and passion for the craft, he has become an inspiration to aspiring actors around the world, leaving an indelible mark on Indian cinema and theatre.
  • Beautiful film in every sense! Ah! This hits home. My mother is 67.. she got early onset Alzheimer’s at 57. These 10 yrs have been totally devastating for the whole family as she was the main pillar. It’s been 4 yrs since she stopped recognizing us.. it’s gut wrenching and extremely painful for us when she looks at us with a blank expression… knowing that she is the same person whose eyes would sparkle and have a big smile on her face looking at her family! How can god be soo cruel !!
  • I watched this movie just because of Naseeeruddin Shah sir. He is one of the most talented actor and an institute for learning in acting. Every time he comes with betterment no matter he is in short film or in a movie the perfection is every where . we are proud of you sir and feeling lucky to have incredible actor like you in Indian Cinema.
  • loved the thing that he forgot everything, from how his grandson looks to when his last hearing was ...but remembers exactly in which colour box her wife kept poha for him this morning. The love and bond is fantastic 😅
  • God... The details.. Rasika wearing that nose ring at the end.. That was so subtle and meaningful. Wish there were so many of such stories.
  • Chintan Sarda's 'The Broken Table' is a masterpiece of visual storytelling. The way he explores themes of loss, regret, and reconciliation through the metaphor of a broken table is both innovative and evocative. The use of symbolism is profound, adding layers of meaning to every frame. The performances are outstanding, particularly in conveying the unspoken emotions that resonate long after the film ends. Sarda's direction is commendable for its ability to create a powerful narrative arc within a short runtime. 'The Broken Table' is a testament to the director's skill in crafting compelling stories that resonate deeply with audiences.

    Life's lesson summarized in 20 mins. What a thought "No matter how you are or what you are, you are enough". What an actor Naseer Saab ... I seldom think why age & time takes away all what which we always wanted to cherish forever .... 😐
  • @SChatterjee82
    Thank God, stumbled upon this gem if not so late. No matter what the political ideologies one person holds, one should not overlook the talent the artist possesses; deserves the due credit always.Naseeruddin shah has once again proved that he still comes in the top 5 great actors of cinema. Well acted by Rasika duggal too.
  • @tashfiaislam3555
    The happiness I got in the end when I found out that his wife is alive,, is so precious that I can't explain,,a short story gave me immense pleasure,, wow
  • Damn right never change yourself for the ones who love you because they will love you the way you exactly are... And always be self satisfied and complete... Only then people will look at you the same way... What beautiful masterpiece this movie is
  • Left me in tears 🥺🥺 Prabha's voice was so calm and healing The way she said thank you!
  • @Esther-ps3vx
    Naseer Saab, what can I say about his talent. He is the soul of each and every character.
  • @user-fr2cg1uv7k
    Great story - never make assumptions. It appears Dipti (who is actually us) are more lacking in perception and understanding than the Alzheimer patient. In our smugness of thinking 'we know better than the poor dementiac' we made assumptions about Giri and fell flat on our faces. The Alzheimer patient was wiser than us! 😊
  • @user-rc5it7se9j
    That switch in mood & character by NS around 09:20 is a masterclass. Two super talented artists in one frame. Wow
  • Oh this actor!!!! 😍😍😍😍Naseeruddin Shah is a blessing for us audience.
