Featured Comments/Tips
First time I've enjoyed the musical interludes in the India films I've seen--Sita's songs had emotional depth that has been lacking in other movies of the era. I watched a rough version of the movie with poor subtitles, so probably didn't get as much out of this as I might have otherwise. Sad movie about caste distinctions and obligations.
