It’s a sun-kissed evening in Corsica, and Ved (Ranbir) and Tara (Deepika) have been shown as they were when they first met. The sky is a hue of orange, and the mountains are quiet, as are Ved and Tara. This is how Imtiaz Ali’s film Tamasha (2015) ends – in a golden epilogue.
It sounds like the perfect romantic note to end the film on. The star-crossed lovers are finally united, after a decade of heartache, nervous breakdowns and defeated expectations. But would it fit so perfectly had Ved forced himself on Tara? Or if he had slammed the door on her face?
