Mohan P. gave it a2:
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. He said it was spot on! I explained that Anglo Indians in Kerala spoke English with a pronounced Malayalam accent. I lived there. The Actors were sympathetic and he asked me to leave since I hadn't seen his other movie. The actress called him a coward since I had made valid points. I left but the whole thing was published in the Indian Express just before I left for London.
