Which is the Saddest Part of Movie?
A) When the wife is crying over the death of her husband and washes off the dot on her head?
B) When Gogol goes to Cleveland and cries in the father's bed saying he's sorry?
C) When the husband tells his wife her father died?
D) When the father tells Gogol in the car how he got his name?
I'm going to say a tie between A & B
This is for Allah... and it's going way out there sucka...
A) killed me when she was running around the house and cried out in the backyard, and the mirror part.
D) stained in my head so much... the part where Gogol asks his dad whether he was reminding him of that night and his father replied no but of every blessing day after that.. It was so touchy

Old movie or not, I do think it would have been thoughtful to write SPOILER in your thread title.
Anyway.......
What, no mention of the dying husband calling his wife from the public phone?
Or Gogol's dawning recognition of his own identity and his overwhelming sense of guilt and regret (particularly during the scene with Maxine)?
But from your list, B hit me hardest, and A second hardest.
from the husband's final phonecall to his newly widowed wife's reaction to the news, wow! that was powerful stuff. that wa actually the first scene I saw of the movie. naturally, I watched it all the way through after that. Nair is very talented. I really like most of her movies. come to think of it, i'll have to rewatch Namesake this weekend.

My wife and I adore this film -- we are big fans of Mr. Khan. He is just brilliant in everything. Yeah, we thought the phone call scene, when he is clearly very ill and waiting for an ER doctor to look at him, while trying to put a good face on things as he talks to his wife, was beautifully acted and heart-wrenching. And Tabu did a lovely job with the crying as well -- her shock, her loneliness, all very real.
