This is a movie that brings to mind the comment that he who forgets the past is condemned to repeat it.

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2006)

The only language I speak fluently is English. Despite the fact we saw this move in its original Hindi language with a little limited Engligh thrown in the story line was enthralling and cut across generations of Indian natives and their relations with the British Empire. Those relations, in turn, skewed all of their relations with other individuals The cast is not well known but very fine actors and actresses who transfixed us with their abilities. This is not a typical Bollywood movie that results in "happily ever after" and has something of a sad ending. I hope it is getting some English subtitles so that it can earn the praise in this country it so richly merits.
