few movie have dash expectation and upset me as much a fire have . the movie be pretentious garbage . it do not achieve anything at an artistic level . the only thing it manage to receive be a ban in india . if only it be because of the poor quality of film make rather than the topical controversy and the ban would have be more justifiable . now that i have get my distress out of my system and i be more able to analyse the movie represent from the onset the movie feel unreal especially when the protagonist start converse in english . the director and of course and do not make the movie for an indian audience while however it underestimate it international audience by over simplify it . watch the character of the domestic help conversing in perfect english be too unreal to be true . next we get regular glimpse into radha dream . these scene be not very effective . they come up a jarring and obstruct the flow of the movie . i be still wonder how that philosophical dialogue connect to the story . i felt that the surrealism be lose . the love scene felt voyeuristic and be probably mean for audience titillation rather than be a powerful statement . in any case and they do not achieve either of the two . the name choose for the woman and radha and sita and be name of hindu deity and hence be select to shock the audience . however and since the film wasn not mean for indian audience in the first place and the shock through name selection be not mean to achieve it goal and which be absurd . the quality of direction be very poor and some key and delicate scene have be poorly handle . a good director could have make a powerful emotional drama out of the subject . the act felt wooden although nandita da bring some life into the role and the others be waste . i always think that shabana azmi be a good actress but her talent be not evident in this film . the male lead be outright rubbish . in case you be a fan of earth and wish to see more of the director and stay away from this one . please .
