Now that I have seen so much, Don't believe in stories anymore - Zoonie

[radagast]

After yet another awesome scene together (when Rehan was having trouble changing his shirt, Zoonie stepped in. Ahem! Zooni, nice timing :evill: ) he asks why did she stopped telling stories. She says, pahele dekh nehi saktethe, ab itna kuch dekh lia ke kahani se bisous uth gaya (Couldn't see before, now that I have seen so much, I stopped believing in stories.) That line carries so much pain, that its heartbreaking. Think about it, she has been an unmarried mother for the last 7 years. And our society isn't really an understanding, kind one. Her parents probably moved her to a more remote part of Kashmir (She lives in a different house in the second half, yeah I know they shot in Poland, and it just might be a silly continuity issue. But I refuse to believe that. It just might be Kunal's subtle way to give us a glimpse of Zooni's life that last 7 years.) and then her mother dies. For a girl, who’s every need has been taken care of by a doting, over protective parents, in 5 short years, she had to strong enough to take care of a grief stricken alcoholic father, and a 7 year old kid. No wonder she was able to pull the trigger in the end. This is not the same innocent little blind girl. This WOMAN has seen the world, This woman will take a stand.

What are your thoughts on this issue??

Brilliant observation there! Its much more understandable why she pulled the trigger, her strength of character helped her to make this decision. Quite ironic actually, I was just watching this scene. Very subtle and intense, just like the film as a whole. :)

i wouldn't call it cynical but yes...i do agree that the last seven years were probably not the easiest for her. i was thinking about that as i remembered the scene when she throws the pictures she cut from magazines into the fire - i had wondered the first time why there was this close-up of zooni as she did it...but i realised...she had just burned the only memories she had of rehan. it was like letting a part of her go that she had tried so hard to hang on to for the last seven years....that gave that scene a whole new meaning for me
