The first time I saw it I liked the grey morality of the father figure. The second time, in 2017, my appreciation extended to all the major characters. The amateur actors do very well and religious faith takes the place realism requires. It’s a good deal more representative of a marginal modern (in the broad sense) life in India than, for instance, Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things (1997). |
