I see it more that she chose to avoid the easy, trite ending. Meethi was balanced on a fence between two worlds. At the end she falls, and she ends up in the world that we, the majority, cannot perceive. But it is a world where her happiness lies.

Two dialogues sum up what Aparna Sen was thinking

1) Dr, we all live with a certain form of hallucinations about life

2) Rahul Bose says 'It was surreal, as if I had stepped into someone else’s reality.

The ending can only be analyzed as Mithi, walked out of ‘our’ reality and into hers, where she is married to Jojo with five children, I know it sounds very weird, but its kind of a ‘magic realism’ ending, Ms. Sen is treading on new ground now, good luck.

Exactly what I thought silversurfur11. At the end, she is too far gone (perhaps) to come back to the real world. It reminded me of "The Bluest Eye" where the little girl becomes crazy b/c of her obsession w/ blue eyes (something she can never have).

Shabana Azmi was GREAT, as was the dr. who kinda had a thing for her- rare to see such chemistry btwn older ppl on film. She was even more real than in "Fire" IMHO. I need to check out more of Shabana's films!!!

My personal feeling is that Meethi shouldn't have disappeared altogether. Instead, if she were shown to have died or something.....(died only physically, but from her own point of view, transported to some other world of her own imagination)

Anyway, that's Aparna sen's movie and that's how she wanted it to end....so.....we can't complain...

I loved the ending: through the illusion of film she walked, into an illusion called reality.

Azmi was amazing, really amazing.
