    Ignorant attitude, I told Merchant had he made this about muslims they would have burnt the cinema down. Also why didnt he get an Anglo Indian to act the role when he had English and Indians for the other roles and Madur Jaffrey just used a slow North Indian accent with a lot of 'childs' thrown in to authenticate her awful accent.

I left but the whole thing was published in the Indian Express just before I left for London.… Expand

    Forlorn melodrama, which is low on drama and high on mellow.

    Serves as a fascinating exploration of racial and social prejudice; and an indictment of cultural miscegenation.
