Ah...the father-issue...
SLB had been more bold in his first movie ...interestingly, this subject (deaf parents, hearing daughter, music) has become the subject of a renowned German movie (released 4 months after Kamoshi), a French-language movie and it's (better) US-remake CODA from two years ago (which got - rightly so - 3 Oscars).
I watched Kamoshi after having watched Devdas and HDDCS (so, a backwards viewing of SLB's movies).
I liked HDDCS as a movie that told a certain story but I didn't like the story...it had a very calculating, manipulating touch...rewarding a certain narrative rooted in Indian life. I already had disliked this all-powerful-father trope in Devdas.
Nevertheless, I agree with Nora's interpretation why Nandini's decision wasn't favourable for Sameer.
Knowing already about what happened between Salman and Aish on a private level, I find it so telling that even the movie which started their relationship hadn't a happy ending for them.
Aish wasn't meant to be with Salman nor with SRK...neither in movies nor in real life (in HTHS Aish is just nominally Salman's girlfriend)... sometimes, some correlations are strange...
