Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for anyone in the mood for a love story and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. One to watch when you can give it your full attention. Liked The Way We Were or Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans? This is a good next one.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Long and immersive, at 2 hr 50 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 2 hr 50 min.
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Archi, a local politician’s daughter, and Parshya, a fisherman’s son, fall in love resulting in violence between the families due to the stringent casteism in the village.
