First thing is that this is a Film saying something about feelings of a woman, longing for Love and not merely a TV Documentry or a Biopic with real life clippings..so its best not to expect that !!This Famous saying by poet Rumi...”SomewhereFirst thing is that this is a Film saying something about feelings of a woman, longing for Love and not merely a TV Documentry or a Biopic with real life clippings..so its best not to expect that !!This Famous saying by poet Rumi...”Somewhere between right
and wrong there is a garden…I will meet you there”. That’s the garden of love,
where Diana wanted to go to. The film says a lot about the private life of
Diana, which I guess has been researched on some hard facts. Young Lioness..One
of the most beautiful women of all times…had the whole world in her palm yet
she yearned for The one thing, that is a
gift of only the fortunate- LOVE…She was denied that from her rebound affair
with (one in a million) heart Surgeon- Dr.Khan, who realistically and logically,
choose his career and family over her…only
because she was a princess. But sadly Dr.Khan did not know that love is not to be
analysed from the head …But FELT from the heart, which was what Diana felt…always
from her Heart !! What I gather from the
Film is that…Despite what was expected from the world’s most important woman at
that time, from the Society, Royalty, Paparazzi
and the World at large… she tried her best to Just come out of those clutches
of Royalty to which she had wed into… Yet it seems like No one wanted to see
her in any different image other than Princess Diana…Queen of England ! I feel there is that one dialogue from the
movie- Notting hill by Julia Roberts, which best fits at the END…where Diana
probably might want to have said to the world that…After all... I'm just a
girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her!! …R.I.P. Diana.

A biographical movie of princess Diana. It tells the story of her last two years of life, especially the romance side. A better movie than I anticipated.

It tells the story of her last two years of life, especially the romance side. A better movie than I anticipated. I think Jessica Chastain would have been also a good choice to play the role princess Diana, anyway Naomi Watts excelled in her opportunity. The movie did not fail because of the cast, characters and performances, the thing is I really don't know why, different people say different reason, but I enjoyed it. This real incident was happened when I was a little kid, I did not know the whole story then till I watch it now.

‘‘There's about 5 billion people on this planet who can say
they love me! But is there one who can stay with me?’’

After all Diana was also a human like everybody else and I did not find anything wrong with her romantic affair in her final days. In fact, as a cinematic it chronicles on the sufficient amount of limited characters. Lots of the big names were just left out. That's great because the movie had all the time to concentrate on the particular relationship. Except that I waited for the end tragedy scene which never came. I assumed, that could have been the highlight of the movie, which might have brought the tears. So I believe it is a great let down, the movie did not have the car crash scene. Especially the real reason behind it remains fishy and mystery. Naveen Andrews was great, but he was no way near to Hasnat Khan in appearance.

There might be some flaws in the movie, because in the biopics people often complain about many things. Those who observed all this incident closely at that time when it happened may recognize errors. But I feel modification sometimes need while transforming a real life to cinematic. Like any romantic movie it can be enjoyed by everyone who love biography. I did and liked it, certainly not a class movie like it should have been.

I have been waiting for this one since its production days and now that I finally managed to watch it, I am really surprised to see it has been rated so low on average. The film is great and I loved it. Naomi has done a wonderful job especially with her expressions and her accent. She did justice to the character. Nobody other could have done Diana's character in such a magnificent, delicate and magnificent way. It was because of this movie that I was so touched that I watched Diana's interview with BBC once again after so many years. I compared Naomi's impressions of Diana during that very interview and she was just amazing. It's a beautiful film and the cast has done an amazing job. It doesn't happen very often that the admirers and fans of a famous personality can be pleased by someone else by being the same. Naomi did that successfully. Expand
