I'm a VietNamese n my love is an Indian. We met n loved each other very much. Our love overcome the distance. But later, we know, we cannot move ahead bcz parents didnt allow. We hurt infinity n this led me to this film. I cried, cannot stop at the end of film. Touching my heart ❤️
I was deeply moved by everything. The LOVE , the distance, culture differences, language barriers, the scenery of the shootings, the whole movie. It was beyond words. LOVE exist....yes it does...& it still can conquer every barrier.
Wow! What a powerful ending! This movie was so pure and graceful. When Miyage arrived at the house in the white saree without borders, with her head shaved and a white bangle on each arm, I have to admit she had me raining tears. Also, you will notice in that scene that Sandhya switched back to wearing a white saree without borders as well. Just an incredible movie that was so harmonious & genuine. Well done to everyone connected to the film!
This movie deserved an Oscar undoubtedly. It is beautiful because a love story without both guy and girl not even seeing each other developed so much unconditional love and married. What a movie
Such an emotional movie! Every character in the movie has a kind heart. Loved the empathy of his aunt who raise his nephew as his own son and taking her goddaughter n son under her wings. The love relationship between him and miyagi is so pure. The Ending definitely made me teary 😭
I'm glad I came across this movie. I really cried my heart out. I met my husband online 12 years ago and I am so thankful that we were given the chance to meet in person and got married.
I pause in between scenes. I am overwhelmed by the emotions that this movie is giving me. This is a masterpiece. Great story and cinematography. The actor was so perfect for the role. Everything in him exudes love and loyalty. Watching him just breaks my heart. The Japanese wife was the good wife. Love is love even in a distance.
Such an AMAZING and TOUCHING movie. I watched it not knowing what to expect, but I was NOT disappointed. It made me smile, and it made me CRY. I had not realized that Miyage had shaved her hair in a display of her love and devotion to Snehamoy as I mistakenly thought her lack of hair was an after effect of the chemotherapy. It has been more than three hours since I finished the movie, but even reading the comments below have brought back tears to my eyes. A movie I will NOT SOON FORGET!
Me too ,it's near about quarter past seven in the evening, just an hour ago I finished this movie & reading the comments just to see if there are like me who cried & feel the same .
As soon as I saw Miyage wearing a white saree and shaved head , I just started crying automatically, remembering how Snehamoy had said some widows shave their heads to show their devotion towards their husband.. I am up crying and writing this in the middle of the night.. An amazing art that touches the heart deep within , this movie is wonderful.
meghna talukdar Well they don't actually shave head in old times.... They used to have boys cut and she used chemo therapy for cancer so she had to shave her head because you go bald when using chemo for cancer treatment
@@prakriti7663 maybe that is possible that she shaved her head because of chemo. but I would like to believe that she did so to show her devotion towards her husband, just how he had told her once that some women do that out of great respect and devotion for their husbands.
@@prakriti7663 but he told her that sometimes the widow would shave her head to show her dedication. They never showed her bald during her treatment, when her head was covered in china she had hair. It could be either one, though I'm thinking it was because she was mourning
Why hasn’t this film had more recognition? It is a masterpiece an art and every actor has played their role with utmost talent. What’s wrong people- you all need to definitely watch this movie 100% It definitely made me cry and moved my heart
Just watched it tonight. Reminded me of the purity of love and simple people. I taught at a Japanese school and knew many Miyage girls. I was once in love at 19 to a Japanese boy. This feel forty years later brought me to that innocence.
The meaning of trusting your love throughout the years in ups and downs is magnificently portrayed in this movie. The acting is perfect and the story is really touching.
So sad, she did come to see him after all but he's gone. This teaches us that we should try our best to be with our loved ones no matter how far they are.

@Laarnie Fabico I just love when I look at the comments before having watched the film, only to find someone spoil the film for me. Don't you love when that happens? Stupid ass, please delete your comment.
What an exquisite film!! I am an old lady with old values, but this movie shook me to the core....The purity of the feelings, the devotion, sincerity, are utterly touching....in this indifferent world of ours , I thought that something like this ,is non-exsistent!!!!
Unfortunately, a love of this proportion ..so pure is rarely experienced by anyone. But through someone's imagination.. perhaps their ideal of love, they were able to execute it beautifully through a movie. It's a beautifully thought out, modern day adult fairy tale.
I have to say that this film: 'The Japanese Wife' touched my old heart more than any other...even 'The Red Balloon '! This film is a beautiful example of film becoming true art! So gorgeous! So very emotional!.So touching! (I cried 10 times at least...Thank you deeply to ALL involved ❤️! Writer(s),producer, directors, actors, musicians, cinematographers, everyone involved! Such wonderful work! TRULY A REAL MASTERPIECE!! Thank you so very much!
This is a really nice movie. The story line, writing, acting, scenery, costuming, all were very well done. What is nice about foreign movies is that we get a glimpse of what life and customs in other countries is like. The actress that played Miyage was breathtakingly beautiful, way prettier than say Marilyn Monroe. Sweet, quiet, gentle movie. Hollywood hasn't a clue how to make a movie such as this because the people in the movie industry are shallow, jaded and corrupt.
True love in this picture, direction, dialogue, scene, nature, background music, characters every thing is natural. Love this movie. I don't know why people don't appreciate this type movie in theaters.
The beautiful scenery of both countries. The culture, so enchanting. I am glad I saw this movie again today. I watched it before and loved it. It's so beautiful to watch two people love one another despite the differences in culture. Love is a many splendored thing, isn't it?
It's a true love, touching love but not sensible and practical love whom two human have never met in their life. Love is not just the matter for 2 of you, love is the bond that will continue and extend to your children and family folks. Since you can't realize it because of distance. So LET GO AND NOT BEHOLD. That's what the philosophical advice of Buddha the enlightened one and the scholars of philosophy would put it. So, the so called 'TRUE LOVE' of Snehomoy and Miyage is actually a wrong match by destiny AND in Buddhism 'FLOWERS IN THE MIRROR AND THE MOON IN THE WATER' that one will never grap it！So wake up and face the truth and reality said by the enlightened ones.
Being addicted by the social media our next generation will never find true love,affection, truthfulness,dedication so many good human quality. Human will lose the morality being running after only money. I am just continuously crying , I don't know why can't stop crying
God will wipe those tears away. We can't depend wholly on most humans for love, affection, truthfulness. They are caught in a web of selfishness, greed, lack of morality and compassion. We can depend on God.
I believe one of the positive outcomes of the pandemic is that we long for real connection rather than the superficiality of the social media. It’s creating a vacuum in young people’s hearts and hopefully when we come out of the pandemic, we will remember that we all desire the simplicity of connecting to another human being below the surface attributes.
U r absolutely right sir 👏👍this luv story is so beautiful I got so emotional cuz I can relate to it I wish all men has a pure n faithful heart like samuoy ( the male character in the movie) I pray that my man is faithful like him 🙏 it's so painful
This is an example to our generation where is sex or physical touch is very important to everyone . The movie teaches us how to love another person's soul not body . Though they were apart from each other but they were really together connected by heart . This is called connection ,devote towards their partner. Such a masterpiece ❤
I totally agree with your comments, it is beautifully written!!! Unfortunately, not everyone will agree with the truth because they have never matured on a spiritually level and never will transcend mentally as well as, emotionally!!!
this is missing in this current generation. unfortunately, people are giving importance to physical attraction rather love. Many marriages are going to abolishing due to misadventures.
Wow!! can’t believe this didn’t win an Oscar ! Every character …every scene .. every spoken word so genuine and graceful.. an unforgettable masterpiece !,
I was so touched also ....sometimes it is better to love somebody far away because you idealise the relationship far from petty cruelty of todays society
BEING a man, I had tears, reminded of what a innocent love looks like. Sad to see many women cry loninless, under widow tradition. Once in life time to watch. 🙏🏼Tx to the team. 🙏🏼
How in earth this movie got recommended on my feed. I was really sad these days for so many reasons. This movie somehow became the savior of my mood. Never had I watched a movie like this. The last 10 minutes, I couldn't stop myself from crying. I cried my heart out. Such a beautiful movie💛💛
It is a tragic love between two innocent people, it starts with laughters and end with tears.Thanks to the producer and the one who kindly loaded such a good film on you tube for us to see.
The beauty of this film cannot be explained in words but can only be felt. After watching this film you will realize that how beautiful love is. This film is one that touches your soul.These films should represent India at the Oscars but sadly these films doesn't get much appreciation.
Emotional connection with someone you’ve never met can be just as much if not more strong then in person … especially from far away in a place u are so in awe with… like I’m from Hawaii and whenever I talk to someone new on phone or comment section they are like wow that’s paradise u are so lucky it’s my dream…and I feel this way about other places… Egypt, Spain, Italy , japan etc… so many beautiful places traditions and ppl ❤️
Such a beautiful moving movie... I wish the ending could have been different. The cinematography and music is incredible. Pure love so hard to find in this day and age.

No words about this masterpiece... award winning film.. movie filled with pure love and emotions.. ending scene makes my eyes filled with tears ..I cried and cried...In this materialistic world we never have this much pure love....
I wish they could meet each other atleast once. This movie such a truly amazing and unique. Tears roll down my eyes...I leave this comment with heavy heart...really touched my heart...so sad their love story...
A heart touched movie, every emotions they felt was deeply portrayed. As a Indian I always loved Japan very deeply. When the love is pure and strong nothing in this world can split them even the death failed in front of their pure love. Pure love is always unconditional and it doesn't have any limits. Love can cross miles and miles but the intensity will remain same and it always feels fresh...
I'm Cambodian and I used to play kites when I was a kid. We do have kits competition too. In Cambodia, we play kites in January or February after harvesting rice. I really miss that time. We, Cambodian and Indian have many similar things, not just religions and culture, others such as boxing and games and event movies are very similar. This movie is very beautiful indeed.
wonderful movie, love can be so deep sometimes. without seeing and touching each other they develop such loyalty towards each other. even though they knew it was difficult to meet each other. neither of them cheated or broke their bond. pure and true love.

Aparna sen writes beautiful. Her direction is impeccable. The theme surpasses all geographical boundaries. Love is just not a feeling . It is an institution. It is all powerful. No words to explain the grace of love and depiction in the movie.
Wow what an amazing story. I cried at the end seeing he had kept everything she ever sent to him. Miyage faithfully wearing the bangles he bought her. 😊😊😊😊😊
Is this base on true to life story? I have lived in Japan for a long time and I can tell the wife situation is very real. If you go to any province in Japan that's how Japanese women live. They are very old fashion, honest and kind. They value family trait. Some of the old-fashioned women they just continue their family lifestyle alone until they get old and die. I am not familiar with the Indian culture but this is a very touching story and very realistic. Tumbs up for the writer.
@@litzadey1482 - There is several hints about the period : Miyage had sent him _an e-mail address_ in a letter ( 1:00:10 ) but the village is not "connected to the pipe". So it's probably around the mid of the 90s or at the beginning of 2000 when the e-mail system got popular. IMHO the director makes this story sounds timeless on purpose : The choice of a remote village and the discreet wardrobe give the movie a universal appeal. The news relating to an event (? maybe an Indian person could help) & the ad on the TV screen, the Metro free newspaper (start @ 1:21:23 ) Long distance calls were so expensive. Thanks now we have several tools like Skype, FB... But one needs an internet connection and _a cabled place._ Internet cafés are popular in some countries : it's a pity we have lost them in Europe because it was an nice place to meet people of all ages and social classes, make direct connections... Most of us valued frugality back to the post war period as you noticed. Beautiful story. Great actors.
this movie should deserve alot of award , Its written perfectly beautiful about the real meaning of cross culture relationship backthen ....i wonder this type of relationship still exist nowadays in these pretentious era....
I could not hold on and come to write something, I got goosebumps watching every seconds of the movie, every seconds of 1hr and 40 seconds were worthy. While I have lived the movie myself I felt the character Sneha(Rahul). Also Pureness and strength of their love. I must admit it is one of the best movies I ever watched. Thank you so much to the entire film crew for presenting such a beautiful movie. And thanks to my bunny for recommending to watch this movie👍
Heart touching story...I never expected this end..I was thinking she died earlier than him. Husband was so much loyal to her. Bengali's are great. Hats off to the director .
This movie is so beautiful, it made me so emotional and made me shed intense tears to realize the purity and essence of divine love. True love has no bound and conditions to share. Love through pure nature is the universal feelings, like the sun which pervades light for all living beings without conditions. Actually, I am one of the dying fans of the actor, who deserves a great salute and award for acting to the extreme of being true love. Lhamo Dukpa from Bhutan

At my 26. Living abroad with foreigners as a bengali . It is hard to found love in other races and in a rainy day you sat alone and youtube suggest you this masterpiece. I can not express my feelings. Just finished this movie and thought to leave a comment. I hope everyone will find their true love before its too late.
in todays world of nepotism no one gives imprtance to this kind of film......this film is far more better thn those stupid films like baghi 1 2 3........this film really made me cry....... this kind of film will always be in hearts.........😢😢
What a lovely story! People in the internet age probably cannot feel the closeness between the people in the story. We are just one click away and yet we are so far apart emotionally.
From Cuenca, Ecuador, South America I want to thank you for this great movie, I also want to congratulate those involved in the making of this great love story, bless you all.
I am watching this film again and still find it very beautiful,both visually and in the poetic brevity of the text The protagonists voices are brilliant ! Thank you
I am sri Lankan journalist. Living in Japan. I know indian and Japanese feelings. This is very good film. As well as i went my past memories. Thanks all
@@Arnavmahanta23 yes yes... It's unlike the clichéd movies, very different from the rest... And I love how they portrayed love in a different light.. I also recommended it to my friends too.. 🤗
Thank you TH-cam. I love languages, perfect combination. The subtitles were a bit hard to read as there was too much light. The actors were amazing and, each held to the mores and culture of their society. Again, thank you.
Such patience in love with such purity and devotion doesn't exist nowadays.people now just become restless with mere little pain and discomfort.this movie shows how people should behave in relations and how to handle feelings.❤❤

You can spend hours lost searching for something interesting and when you finally find it, you watch it then walk away happy no matter how long you just burned browsing
Watching from Europe, Italy, what a masterpiece ❤❤❤ The profound story of these 2 souls united only by writing to each other, never meeting physically and still be so connected to each other. Tears coming at the end , a wonderful film, the opposite of what modern cinema produces today(sex, violence, loud voices,every scene and the whole film a hurry, no time for rest and silence, no poetry) - thank you for this masterpiece ❤❤❤
I watched this movie during lock down. Such a beautiful love story...love the movie, story and the emptiness between those two soul..... Wow..tears roll down my cheeks 😢😢
This came on my recommendation and I decided to watch it and I think that I did the right thing. This film made me see the innocence and pure love between people and that caring for others still exists.
This was such a beautiful movie. Wish the subtitle was in some other color bcoz yellow was a bit difficult to read since it was hard to see in bright color but overall the movie was superb.

Actually I didn't understand she shaved head because of Cancer or her love for her husband, I guess thats up to us to think about.
Me too
I may have missed significance of white clothing w/o borders and white bracelets.❤
Why did she not come when he was alive😭
This movie deserved an Oscar undoubtedly.
It is beautiful because a love story without both guy and girl not even seeing each other developed so much unconditional love and married. What a movie
Is it 18+
Can not agree more. Very Touching!!
That is what I was thinking. ❤

Then what about Sitaramam
Such an emotional movie!
Every character in the movie has a kind heart. Loved the empathy of his aunt who raise his nephew as his own son and taking her goddaughter n son under her wings. The love relationship between him and miyagi is so pure. The Ending definitely made me teary 😭
Emotional? Yes, an idiotic man manipulated by a girl who could not bring her ass to see him once till he perished for nothing
Should receive National Film Award and Academy Awards. The film is beautiful and it stays with you long after it ends
I'm glad I came across this movie. I really cried my heart out. I met my husband online 12 years ago and I am so thankful that we were given the chance to meet in person and got married.

The most touching love story I have ever seen. I can't help crying. Snehamoy and Miyage are so humble with pure angel souls and great loving hearts.

Without seeing or meeting even once, without having that physical presence, their love still so deep...very emotional.
agreed!
It's a true love, touching love but not sensible and practical love whom two human have never met in their life. Love is not just the matter for 2 of you, love is the bond that will continue and extend to your children and family folks. Since you can't realize it because of distance. So LET GO AND NOT BEHOLD. That's what the philosophical advice of Buddha the enlightened one and the scholars of philosophy would put it. So, the so called 'TRUE LOVE' of Snehomoy and Miyage is actually a wrong match by destiny AND in Buddhism 'FLOWERS IN THE MIRROR AND THE MOON IN THE WATER' that one will never grap it！So wake up and face the truth and reality said by the enlightened ones.
A masterpiece.. Deserves to be watched worldwide. Oscar would be honored to be given to such films.
Being addicted by the social media our next generation will never find true love,affection, truthfulness,dedication so many good human quality. Human will lose the morality being running after only money.
I am just continuously crying , I don't know why can't stop crying
God will wipe those tears away. We can't depend wholly on most humans for love, affection, truthfulness. They are caught in a web of selfishness, greed, lack of morality and compassion. We can depend on God.

U r absolutely right sir 👏👍this luv story is so beautiful I got so emotional cuz I can relate to it I wish all men has a pure n faithful heart like samuoy ( the male character in the movie) I pray that my man is faithful like him 🙏 it's so painful
Such a beautiful movie, beautiful story. No drama, no violence, very simple yet heart touching.
This is an example to our generation where is sex or physical touch is very important to everyone . The movie teaches us how to love another person's soul not body . Though they were apart from each other but they were really together connected by heart . This is called connection ,devote towards their partner. Such a masterpiece ❤
Ye किताबी लव अलग होता है,,
Yeah but that rarely exists in real life, physical touch or sex is very important otherwise both partners will feel like Blunders to each other
stop lying
I totally agree with your comments, it is beautifully written!!! Unfortunately, not everyone will agree with the truth because they have never matured on a spiritually level and never will transcend mentally as well as, emotionally!!!
this is missing in this current generation. unfortunately, people are giving importance to physical attraction rather love. Many marriages are going to abolishing due to misadventures.
I m so glad that this movie came in recommendation.. deserves an oscar.. full of pure souls.. cried so much at the end..
Sorry, this is not a reply. Doesn't exist prize for love. Is the way round.
I, never had time to cry, since I here arrived, didn't stop loving YOU.
Loved the simplicity of the movie, the letter exchanging and the depth of the love they both shared with each other...❤️
Hi iam also from India
Wow!! can’t believe this didn’t win an Oscar !
Every character …every scene .. every spoken word so genuine and graceful.. an unforgettable masterpiece !,
So glad you liked it - thanks for watching and for the nice comments.
I was so touched also ....sometimes it is better to love somebody far away because you idealise the relationship far from petty cruelty of todays society
Seriously Rahul Bose was a great actor, Bollywood could never realise him. He was phenomenal in Bulbul
Sumedha Halder why did you say “was” ? Rahul is still working ,right?
*Rahul Bose is
Bcoz his type of films are not madd by karan johars
My pc search says Rahul is still alive.
He is definitely Alive and well. Thank you for Affirmation!
Love knows no boundaries. True love never dies. Death makes love immortal. The film is really a masterpiece-an epic of divine love.
BEING a man, I had tears, reminded of what a innocent love looks like.
Sad to see many women cry loninless, under widow tradition.
Once in life time to watch. 🙏🏼Tx to the team. 🙏🏼
How in earth this movie got recommended on my feed. I was really sad these days for so many reasons. This movie somehow became the savior of my mood. Never had I watched a movie like this. The last 10 minutes, I couldn't stop myself from crying. I cried my heart out. Such a beautiful movie💛💛
It is a tragic love between two innocent people, it starts with laughters and end with tears.Thanks to the producer and the one who kindly loaded such a good film on you tube for us to see.
OMG!!!!cant stop my tears...lovely and great love story even thousands of miles away....their love is pure and everlasting ....
The beauty of this film cannot be explained in words but can only be felt. After watching this film you will realize that how beautiful love is. This film is one that touches your soul.These films should represent India at the Oscars but sadly these films doesn't get much appreciation.
👏👏
I totally agree with you.
Only with dance and song movie in Bollywood is boring .....its true pure movie
Emotional connection with someone you’ve never met can be just as much if not more strong then in person … especially from far away in a place u are so in awe with… like I’m from Hawaii and whenever I talk to someone new on phone or comment section they are like wow that’s paradise u are so lucky it’s my dream…and I feel this way about other places… Egypt, Spain, Italy , japan etc… so many beautiful places traditions and ppl ❤️
They showed genuine love.. love knows no bounderies, no culture, no religion.. this movie made me 😭💚
The Bengali women's expressive eyes, the Japanese woman's sweetness and the man's melancholy made sure that I will remember Aparna Sen.
Not only is the store beautiful.... The movie showcases the authentic simple rural Indian life, scenery and characters..... What a vivid portrayal!!
I'm a Bengali in Kolkata & I'm proud because it's a BENGALI movie 🙂
It really hurts when two lovers don't meet. Atleast she could have met him in person 😢😭
Such a beautiful moving movie... I wish the ending could have been different. The cinematography and music is incredible. Pure love so hard to find in this day and age.
It's a true love, touching love but not sensible and practical love whom two human have never met in their life? Love is not just the matter for 2 of you, love is the bond that will continue and extend to your children and family folks. Since you can't realize it because of distance. So LET GO AND NOT BEHOLD. That's what the philosophical advice of Buddha the enlightened one and the scholars of philosophy would put it. So, the so called 'TRUE LOVE' of Snehomoy and Miyage is actually a wrong match by destiny AND in Buddhism 'FLOWERS IN THE MIRROR AND THE MOON IN THE WATER' that one will never grap it！So wake up and face the truth and reality said by the enlightened ones.
@@jasongoh6105 You stay with your right one. Let some people do wrong, some wrong which heart want needed in life. Life is not calculator
This film really natural way of expression, but it is nice exchange of cultures. Congratulation for Snehamoy and Miyage who raise this movie for us.
This is ultimately what makes films truly art - bravo to the entire cast and crew for a masterpiece!
Such a beautiful tale of unconditional love and devotion. So refreshing in today's age of use and throw!
The way Rahul speaks English in Bengali accent is proof enough of the versatility he carries
A very poignant unique movie!!
It's the most beautiful story I have ever seen in my life. An another name of love and soul.
No words about this masterpiece... award winning film.. movie filled with pure love and emotions.. ending scene makes my eyes filled with tears ..I cried and cried...In this materialistic world we never have this much pure love....
I just wish they should have met atleast once. Such a pure love story.
People doesn't have patience to watch such movies these days... but it is such a great movie enriched with every thing needed ! This movie have soul
I cried....my heartache.....tears didnt stop
I agree with you. It's so hard to find good movies these days that have such deep meanings.

I wish they could meet each other atleast once. This movie such a truly amazing and unique. Tears roll down my eyes...I leave this comment with heavy heart...really touched my heart...so sad their love story...
A heart touched movie, every emotions they felt was deeply portrayed. As a Indian I always loved Japan very deeply.
When the love is pure and strong nothing in this world can split them even the death failed in front of their pure love. Pure love is always unconditional and it doesn't have any limits. Love can cross miles and miles but the intensity will remain same and it always feels fresh...
True 😢😢😢
I'm Cambodian and I used to play kites when I was a kid. We do have kits competition too. In Cambodia, we play kites in January or February after harvesting rice. I really miss that time. We, Cambodian and Indian have many similar things, not just religions and culture, others such as boxing and games and event movies are very similar. This movie is very beautiful indeed.
It's unparalleled . I just love this movie 🙂🙂🙂🙂
I like combodia
We indians belive,,, वसुधैव कुटुंब-कंब,,,means all the world as faimly.thanks

wonderful movie, love can be so deep sometimes. without seeing and touching each other they develop such loyalty towards each other. even though they knew it was difficult to meet each other. neither of them cheated or broke their bond. pure and true love.
That’s the Beauty of true love

Aparna sen writes beautiful. Her direction is impeccable. The theme surpasses all geographical boundaries. Love is just not a feeling . It is an institution. It is all powerful. No words to explain the grace of love and depiction in the movie.
Hi
Wow what an amazing story. I cried at the end seeing he had kept everything she ever sent to him. Miyage faithfully wearing the bangles he bought her. 😊😊😊😊😊
What a beautiful story...just made me cry. I have Indian friends and lived in Japan and can relate to it. Thank you for posting it!
I cried and I don't do that very often. Beautiful film that only empathetic souls will understand and appreciate.
Every time they showed Miyaki and she spoke melted my heart particularly last words " schoolmaster schoolmaster"
And ' senomoy ' to snehamoy. ☺️
A timeless masterpiece. Invoking millions of emotions. The most beautiful movie I ever watched.
🌸🖤
Is this base on true to life story? I have lived in Japan for a long time and I can tell the wife situation is very real. If you go to any province in Japan that's how Japanese women live. They are very old fashion, honest and kind. They value family trait. Some of the old-fashioned women they just continue their family lifestyle alone until they get old and die. I am not familiar with the Indian culture but this is a very touching story and very realistic. Tumbs up for the writer.
No it's not. It's based on a short story by Kunal Basu. If it's realistic it's because authors do research while writing their stories.
This is rural/village Indian culture and that too after post world war II it seems.
It might not be real but I confused it first with a documentary about a japaneese woman living on India.
@@litzadey1482 - There is several hints about the period : Miyage had sent him _an e-mail address_ in a letter ( 1:00:10 ) but the village is not "connected to the pipe". So it's probably around the mid of the 90s or at the beginning of 2000 when the e-mail system got popular. IMHO the director makes this story sounds timeless on purpose : The choice of a remote village and the discreet wardrobe give the movie a universal appeal.
The news relating to an event (? maybe an Indian person could help) & the ad on the TV screen, the Metro free newspaper (start @ 1:21:23 )
Long distance calls were so expensive. Thanks now we have several tools like Skype, FB... But one needs an internet connection and _a cabled place._ Internet cafés are popular in some countries : it's a pity we have lost them in Europe because it was an nice place to meet people of all ages and social classes, make direct connections...
Most of us valued frugality back to the post war period as you noticed.
Beautiful story. Great actors.
@@laratatouille6364 、
this movie should deserve alot of award , Its written perfectly beautiful about the real meaning of cross culture relationship backthen ....i wonder this type of relationship still exist nowadays in these pretentious era....
It does. Its me and my love. I have a feeling we won't meet ever.
Such a sad touching ending.Almost cried when I saw Miyake in widow's saree n bald.Thank you for you this film.Am from Malaysia.
I am from in India
I could not hold on and come to write something, I got goosebumps watching every seconds of the movie, every seconds of 1hr and 40 seconds were worthy. While I have lived the movie myself I felt the character Sneha(Rahul). Also Pureness and strength of their love. I must admit it is one of the best movies I ever watched.
Thank you so much to the entire film crew for presenting such a beautiful movie. And thanks to my bunny for recommending to watch this movie👍
Heart touching story...I never expected this end..I was thinking she died earlier than him. Husband was so much loyal to her. Bengali's are great. Hats off to the director .
This movie is so beautiful, it made me so emotional and made me shed intense tears to realize the purity and essence of divine love. True love has no bound and conditions to share. Love through pure nature is the universal feelings, like the sun which pervades light for all living beings without conditions.
Actually, I am one of the dying fans of the actor, who deserves a great salute and award for acting to the extreme of being true love.

Hello
👦🇮🇳💞🇯🇵🙎
All the characters here are natural. Love brings us together and has huge respects and responsibilities towards one another ❤️👍
At my 26. Living abroad with foreigners as a bengali . It is hard to found love in other races and in a rainy day you sat alone and youtube suggest you this masterpiece. I can not express my feelings. Just finished this movie and thought to leave a comment. I hope everyone will find their true love before its too late.
in todays world of nepotism no one gives imprtance to this kind of film......this film is far more better thn those stupid films like baghi 1 2 3........this film really made me cry....... this kind of film will always be in hearts.........😢😢
Why Hindi cinema makers can't understand this???
only ppl w/ pure hearts undrstnd this 😕
There are good movies in hindi cinema ..it up to us to watch them.for example
RAINCOAT
MASAAN
LUNCHBOX and many more.

@@kaladar5377 yes its a brilliant movie, not for everyone but people who love real and creative cinema must give it a watch.
Eyes fill with Tears...💔 such an Inspiring Love Story....
What a lovely story! People in the internet age probably cannot feel the closeness between the people in the story. We are just one click away and yet we are so far apart emotionally.
From Cuenca, Ecuador, South America I want to thank you for this great movie, I also want to congratulate those involved in the making of this great love story, bless you all.
Welcome
these kinds of movies are VERY RARE to find...such a beautiful movie...you will cry. I did.

@@Arnavmahanta23 yes yes... It's unlike the clichéd movies, very different from the rest... And I love how they portrayed love in a different light..
I also recommended it to my friends too.. 🤗
Thank you TH-cam. I love languages, perfect combination. The subtitles were a bit hard to read as there was too much light. The actors were amazing and, each held to the mores and culture of their society. Again, thank you.
What an amazing movie. Every once in a while I come across movies like this which reminds me why I love movies so much. Masterfully crafted!!
Such patience in love with such purity and devotion doesn't exist nowadays.people now just become restless with mere little pain and discomfort.this movie shows how people should behave in relations and how to handle feelings.❤❤

I swear! Bengali movies are so beautiful and poetic! Talents runs in their blood! Such simple settings yet such deep symbolism

You can spend hours lost searching for something interesting and when you finally find it, you watch it then walk away happy no matter how long you just burned browsing
Matthew Thurner , right . Same here . This movie truly surprised me ...
A soul touching love story, brought tears to my eyes. Real love is so purifying so spiritual and devine. Please keep telling such stories. Thank you.
D.N. Bhatnagar : why can’t real love continue after marriage?
Do watch '96 you will love it
Donpuneet Singh : it is a show?
Watching from Europe, Italy, what a masterpiece ❤❤❤ The profound story of these 2 souls united only by writing to each other, never meeting physically and still be so connected to each other. Tears coming at the end , a wonderful film, the opposite of what modern cinema produces today(sex, violence, loud voices,every scene and the whole film a hurry, no time for rest and silence, no poetry) - thank you for this masterpiece ❤❤❤
it's really so sad nd heartbreaking to watch her...to come to his husband after he passed
i realy couldn't stop my tears 😟😥
What a nice movie! It touched my heart.

Beautiful movie. An eternal love what a bliss to watch it. Hats off to the team and director.
This came on my recommendation and I decided to watch it and I think that I did the right thing. This film made me see the innocence and pure love between people and that caring for others still exists.
This was such a beautiful movie. Wish the subtitle was in some other color bcoz yellow was a bit difficult to read since it was hard to see in bright color but overall the movie was superb.
Agree about the yellow colour subtitles... Brilliant movie!!!
i also encountered same problem with the color of subs!
yes ur right. if the subtittle black colour that will be good
Black or white
Frustrating to follow when you are relying on yellow coloured subtitles that can't be seen
