3 Lives, 3 Destinies, connected by one name - 'David'
David is a very interesting movie about 3 characters of the same name in different era's and how an action in one era has a reaction onto the next one....
All the characters are vey layered and all of them going through a lot of intensity inside themselves...
This movie has to be felt and so the pacing is current although many viewers may feel it to be a drag....
Even the climax cannot be categorised as Happy or Sad...
But the satisfaction of watching such a movie is immense...
It is made up of moments which linger in mind after the movie...
Few of them which stand out such as ...
1) The Don's son burstout to David about his father loving him more than his son...
2) Or the scene where 1975 David asks his don..the truth about the relation he shared with his mother....
3) the scene where the flat broker explains the 1999's David about marketing of underwear..
4) the relationship the 2010 David shares with his friend Tabu, his deceased father, and his mother...
All in all it needs to be felt to be understood .....
