Review: 'Waiting' Actors rule the roost

While the writing effortlessly brings out the fine nuances of the characters caught in the emotional and ethical turmoil, it lacks the intensity of a powerful drama. The plot graph, at times seems forcefully tailored to create ripples, especially Shiv's track. His confession to his wife was unwarranted and his flashback scenes are tackily handled.The characters are well-etched and the actors play their parts earnestly. Kalki Koechlin as Tara Deshpande and Naseeruddin Shah as Shiv Natraj, shine in their respective roles displaying a broad spectrum of emotions from serious to comic.
