With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for people who like stories about real, flawed people. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 2 hr 24 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1961: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Geeta, a five-year old orphan of Seva-Kunj, gets adopted by wealthy Asha and Ashok Gupta, believes them to be her missing birth parents, and moves in with them in their palatial house.
