dis s d comment on d movie-

d comment by d fst person-
Caught this at the Tribeca Film Festival. It's a plodding, dull tale about a young American girl and her adventures in India. The characters are one-dimensional, the plot predictable, and the acting risible. Some nice scenery, and it's decently shot, but there's nothing enlightening to be found concerning the rich theme of two different cultures clashing and then merging. There's a great movie to be made about Westerners adrift in India, but this sure isn't it. Hard to see who the audience is for this film. It's certainly not sophisticated enough for the art-house crowd. And with no well-known actors and the slow pace, it's as far from crossover as you can get. Maybe the director's second film will be better.
by d second-
Although I think that the cinematography in the movie was superb, and I was intrigued by the portrayal of Jeremy (Justin Theroux) as an alcoholic, I was most interested in the character of Samantha (Kelli Garner). You may remember Kelli from Aviator as the young Faith Domergue.

Although Samantha is in her early 20's, she clearly has led a very sheltered life, and is from an extremely wealthy family. Upon arrival in the ancient town of Rajapur, she was clearly bewildered by the dramatic contrasts between this and her previous life experiences, but I couldn't understand her facial expressions. My immediate reaction was that this was a "valley girl" who had been miscast in the part, but then I realized that she was like the 10 year old Lucy in The Chronicles of Narnia. They were both dazed and overwhelmed by the world that they were surrounded by.

As soon as I thought of Samantha as a child instead of a young adult, everything became much clearer. She had never experienced anything like this in her life and didn't know how to react. It was as if she was in a glass bubble. As the film developed, she started to develop. I could see the glass breaking and the young adult emerging from the child.

Thank you, Kelli for a moving and enlightening performance

nothin much abt bhanu.😭but thut still shud post it.

I had checked out that link a long time ago, it hasn't released in India yet, so don't worry Praveena. Also, at least one of of us would've caught the promos, had the film released, so there. I also read an interview of Manoj Bajpai about 4 or 5 months ago, he said that the film was going to be released in India soon. So don't worry, I just think it might be delayed due to post-production problems, I don't know what kind of reviews the film may get, but an offbeat rarely works in a country like ours, where hardly anyone appreciates offbeat films. Then again, films like Mr & Mrs Iyer, Being Cyrus and the lot did work, so we can be hopeful.
