'Three of Us' Review: A Serene, Thought-Provoking Walk Down Memory Lane – The Quint

After Shailaja Patankar (Shefali Shah) learns that she is going to s0on lose her reminiscence, she decides to return to the small city in Konkan the place she grew up; her earliest recollections are those she needs to reconcile with earlier than she, in a method, loses herself. Her husband Dipankar Patankar (Swanand Kirkire) accompanies her on this journey and is troubled by the entry of her former good friend (and the one-that-got-away) Pradeep Kamat (Jaideep Ahlawat).

As Shailaja and Pradeep roam the streets of their city, reminiscing, and infrequently hinting at what was and what might have been, a component stunning and half painful image of Shailaja’s previous is painted. 

For the reason that couple doesn’t reveal a lot about their determination to go to, the individuals from Shailaja’s previous simply deal with her like an previous good friend who has come to go to as an alternative of a girl attempting to desperately grasp on to a life she left behind.

Additionally it is partially as a result of Kirkire performs Dipankar with the identical hesitation and unconditional help as John Magaro.

Jaideep Ahlawat continues to provide one sensible efficiency after one other; this one follows his distinctive flip in Jaane Jaan. Although he feels unconvincing within the setting, his understanding of the character is pitch excellent. You possibly can virtually see the way in which inspiration enters his thoughts as soon as once more (he’s a poet) after he meets Shailaja. It’s all the time obvious that he understands that his connection to Shailaja is one partially erased by time and he all the time appears, even at his most indulgent, tied to his life along with his spouse.
