Gehraiyaan isn’t what anyone expected: A deep dive into Shakun Batra’s film
For me, Gehraiyaan is a hard movie to take. Like its characters, the decisions the film makes and the places it goes aren’t always easy to agree with and accept, let alone understand. I’m still working on most of it.

Shakun’s film is about the messy, painful process of reckoning with your past and coming to terms with it. Shortly before diving headfirst into their adultery situation, in one of the film’s many early foreshadowings, when they meet at her yoga studio, Alyssa (a very restrained Deepika Padukone) tells Zane “I don’t want to be stuck like a mom”. “You don’t have to,” he replied, “you just have to make a different choice”.
Alisha (Deepika Padukone) is already defined by her difficult past and the choices of others at the beginning of the film, and must deal with the consequences of her own many punitive choices by the end of the film. When she was a little girl, she witnessed her own mother kill herself in what Alyssa thought was a strained marriage. Living in that pain and believing that her mother felt so trapped in her marriage that she took her own life left Alisha scarred. She also has little to no relationship with her father (Naseeruddin Shah’s film work now has its own subgenre to play absent fathers – ZNMD, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Kaun Banegi Shekharwati, Main Hoon Na, etc.) for which she is responsible. That was, of course, before Alyssa found out the truth. A truth that breaks her first before finally setting her free.
