i have see many politically charged film . the one thing that always get to me be that a cause drive a project to great awareness of an issue or event . but what bother me incredibly about amu the film be that the script be so benign that the history be get a fairly weak treatment . shonali bose and the writer director should have stick to direct a the handling be mostly first rate . however and the insipid dialogue and the forced romantic angle between kaju and some horribly wooden actor play kabir ( be we suppose to buy that she would fall for this chap . ) and and politics which unravel through a mystery that simply be too over dramatic in it unfolding make me wonder if amu the film be try too hard to please too many people . i be amaze by the response here a people seem to be eat up the contrived emotion and the forced response we be suppose to feel for these character and the situation . while the 1984 riot be absolutely a topic that need further examination amu the film fail miserably . as much a i try to like the film and it just lack the spirit . and the spirit be what drive me to see the film in the first place .
