Better Late Then Never
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Refreshingly, it focuses on the characters and looks at the Gray areas that troubles most of us so much. A weekend party of intense emotions and high expectations leads to explosive bangs but with the sensitivity of people desperate to hold on to hope still preserved. A pleasant surprise. It dares to examine areas not talked about so as to preserve the tastes of the majority of people. A spotlight on emerging India and what it means to be at home in both worlds. Plus the hero and heroine make a very photogenic couple. It does sometimes have bumpy rides where it looks like the story is about to fall apart but it manages to pull itself together. Initially, I was watching it in Hindi until I realised that it was actually a dubbed movie. Everyone is actually speaking English with the occasional Hindi thrown in.
