The movie is not mainstream cinema. It is an art movie with a compelling story. Kiron Kher is brilliant in her debut as Sardari and Amrish Puri is convincing in his role. Vanraj Bhatia's music excellent but is classical and will not please everyone. The lyrics are by people friendly Javed Akhtar.
Direction is good.
Movies like this come rarely and deserve to win many awards. In my opinion, this is superior to all the Judwaas and the Raja Hindustanis. Be warned though. SB is not for everyone. Few will appreciate the true beauty of the film.
