CLUB 60

Today morning my brother called me and asked me to be ready to leave early today to watch the movie "Club 60" .

The film is very slow and serious . All efforts in creating humor have failed . Nevertheless, it is a film that helps you connect with your inner self and will allow you to look at people with a little more compassion. You never know what the other is going through, even though he or she may be calm on the surface.
The only lines that are remembered after leaving the cinema hall are :-

" Roohon ke beech fasle nahi hote , agar hum kabhi mile na hote".

  and

" Saanse zindagi deti hai par jeena nahi sikhati".

Sarika is too good and has done complete justice to her role .

CLUB 60 is about Letting Go after spending the required time in grieving for the loss of a loved one. But what is the required time-frame to grieve? And is it right to always stay in a grieving position? What about the people around you, who are also hurting because of your grieving? And does grieving endlessly really help the one who is gone away?

Club 60 is also about embracing life, post 60.

Dr Tarique (Farooque Sheikh) and Dr Sayra (Sarika) are a couple living in Pune who have lost their 20-year-old son to a mindless act of terror in Denver, USA. Shattered, they sell off their clinic they had set up over many years and move to Mumbai in order to forget their grief. But the house they come into is the very one they had bought for their son. So the memories don't really leave them.

Dr Tarique is the one who is the most affected; he even tries to end his life. All this while, his wife, Sarika, battles to save him whilst silently burying her grief, unknown to him.
