Georgian audiences do not find the film’s crying “overdone.” Instead, the weeping aligns with girebuli guli (a wounded heart), a valued state in Georgian lyric poetry. Rahul’s adopted sister Pooja is often played for comic relief in Indian readings. However, in Georgian tradition, adopted children ( nashvili ) are fully integrated into gvareba —sometimes even inheriting the tavadi (prince) status.
