i have never write a review but felt obligate to after watch this film . i have hear very nice thing about this movie but be surprised how disappointed i felt leave the cinema . one question and why cast indian girl for nri indian . she have the accent down and but still aren not there talented actor from america . also and who be the horrible guy play kabir . he be awful . he spoil so many scene of the film . the mother brinda karat be good a be yashpal sharma from lagaan . the film seem to cater to outside indian and somehow lose the effect of be powerful for the indian audience and the outside indian audience . i must admit i think the flashback scene be powerful . director bose be promise but she should never write again . the dialogue be pretentious and the impact be minimal . still and she extract competent performance with those restriction . the music be okay and the production value be decent . the riot have so much history and i be wait for a film other than trash like hawayein to offer justice and honesty to what transpire back then . amu offer a glimpse and that it . i wish the entire film be the flashback it have the chance to make intelligent powerful cinema without the forced formula . in the end and amu may be make with heart but the result be heartless for the audience .
