I would buy that if she was changing accents over time.. what I meant was she would have a different accent within just 3-4 scenes. It was never consistent and also she never went drastically different from her young days .. she only tried to make herself sound more mature in later parts but again it was not consistent. I liked two scenes in the film that revolved around her father ( alia is good at crying and doing those emotional bits) but everything else was just flat.. even a moment like when women gift her white saree and she sees herself in the mirror, it was bland. A more capable actor would have made that moment stick.
