Horribly Overrated

Rating: 5/10 (22 December 2014)

A young woman from England (Alice Patten) comes to India to make a documentary about her grandfather's diary which was written in the 1920s about the Indian Independence with five young men.
I probably missed something, because this film has had a tremendous influence and incredible positive criticism, whereas I saw a bunch of poor acting (particularly from Patten) and some over-the-top Bollywood singing and dancing. Some of the music was good, but overall this just seemed too cheesy to be taken seriously.
I would watch the film again to try and understand it better, but that may never happen. It is just so long and difficult to appreciate.
