An India you expected; a story that perhaps you didn't.

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2017)

Diane and I saw this memorable film today and she, more than I, (her words, found it "enthralling"); however, I saw it as a movie that captured my attention and kept that attention throughout the film.
Diane is more sensitive to the soft nuances of a screenplay, and she thought that, particularly the Direction, brought out the best in the actors. I know that this comment seems to be more about her thoughts than mine; however, I did see in the movie all her comments about what we saw on the screen.
The plot is known to all aficionados of the moving screen but to see the actors draw substance out of a script that devours so many minutes of screen time is a delicious watch. The fact that the action takes place in the visually delightful country of India is a feast for the eyes to use a trite saying but the cinematography brings out India's horrendous poverty. SEE THIS MOVIE!
