Arun (Aamir Khan) is a painter who lives alone after divorcing his wife two years ago. He is not good at talking and has a withdrawn personality. He relies on moving to release the pressure in his heart and find new inspiration. At the opening ceremony of an art exhibition, Arun met Shai, a wealthy girl who loves photography. She gave up the favorable working conditions in a New York bank and returned to India to investigate the current situation of the development of small industries at the bottom. After a night of spring supper, the two parted unhappily. Zohaib is a country boy who moved to Mumbai to make a living doing laundry, but he dreams of becoming an actor. Zohaib's serious approach to work makes Shai look at him differently, and the two become friends. Shai took a series of personal photos for Zohaib, and in return, Zohaib took Shai to understand the inside of the laundry industry. After Arun moved to a new house, he found three videotapes left by the original owner of the house, Yasmin. Out of curiosity, Arun watched the videotapes and learned about Yasmin's life and heart. At the same time, he also found out that Yasmin was deceived by her husband and hanged to death in anger. In this room... I think people generally think this film is more literary, and most of the reasons are because of this open ending. Maybe we are all used to the facialization of Indian films, good people are good, bad people are bad, good people usually have a good ending, bad people will definitely be punished in the end, love is full of love, after several twists and turns, it will definitely end. There is a happy ending (at least there must be a clear ending), but this film completely breaks this "rule", there is no clear love and hate, only vague feelings, there are admiration (Shai to Arun), and infatuation (Munna To Shai, let's say it), there is confusion (Arun to Yasmin), but only no love. But an open ending also has the benefit of an open ending, and I'm wishful thinking that Shai and Arun end up together.
