The movie is all about Kalki Koechlin and Naseerudin Shah as two different personalities, who are waiting for their comatose spouse to recover and in the mean while trying to incarnate their lost self surrounded by sterile machines and white coated doctors. Here is what reviewers comment upon the movie:
Rajeev Masand on CNN-IBN: Waiting is well worth your time. It sags post intermission, and the plotting is weak. But it raises important questions about life, love, and letting go. Plus there are those two splendid performances. That’s plenty to merit a viewing.
Komal Nahata: \Waiting is not a universally-appealing film and although it will win accolades and acclaim for its unique story, great performances, and beautiful narration, it will not get any box-office rewards whatsoever.
Renuka Vyvahare on Times of India: It is commendable that director Anu Menon has whipped up a warm tale about love, loss and surviving life’s catastrophic blows, with such simplicity. Menon plays on their generation gap to offer some genuine smiles.
Saibal Chhaterjee on NDTV: Waiting is beautiful and believable, a well-chiselled marvel that is watchable all the way.
Amidst the current trend of mainstream, irrespective of reviews, #CreativeYatra recommends this film to its readers.
