Uma Rajanna

My favourite movie. Wonderful music, relevant theme, strong acting and beautful locations. One of Maniratnam's best

Outstanding performances and a story told beautifully

A movie that has shown how class divide in developing coutries like India is a matter that has a definite say though we call today's India as a land of opportunities. Director remains truthful to the novel , brings on the screen every angle of the author's depiction. Adarsh Gaurav's acting is phenomenal, Priyanka is as good as ever and Rajkuar Rao has lived his character. A must watch for its depiction of heartrending reality : a satire in a class of its own!

A movie that has not won oscar for the performance of the lead actress and it surprised me to know that she was not even nominated! A well-made movie downplaying with subtelity the complexity of the characters, the inner turmoil of a death row warden and everyone else connected with it. And kudos to the entire cast, for playing along with such understanding.
