this is such a good read! i love how you've unpacked everything and you know? when ashwin kissed ratna's forehead and when ratna said, "karna padta hai" i had to stop the film to just DIGEST. everything in the film's composition is brilliant.

This is really well observed. Thanks for writing it. I absolutely loved the movie too and can confirm that the movie is as excellent on multiple re-watches! I wrote a bit about the movie (only a little bit because to unpack it fully will take some effort) here : https://ronakgupta.substack.com/p/class-acts?r=1ipln&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=copy

thanks so very much for reading! loved your article. "It’s languid pace and setting aren’t demanding, but before you know it, you are deeply invested in Ratna and Ashwin’s relationship." excellently captured, will be thinking about some of these details you highlight on my next re-watch.
