Audience Member This film beautifully represents the cultural mishmash which the British-Bengali community live with and are befuddled by. Plenty of room for introspection for the audience. But finally a film that puts the Bengali community based in London in view for the world to see. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Mike M Sometimes you just have to go: oh dear. This time- and continent-hopping drama from writer-director Datta aims high - it's a contemporary reworking of "King Lear", with asides on the effects of Partition on an entire generation of Anglo-Asians - yet is sunk more or less comprehensively by leaden pacing, shaky performances and on-the-nose dialogue... A series of swoony songs - words by Rabindranath Tagore, music by Javed Akhtar - seek to distract us from the fact it isn't going anywhere in a hurry; the soundtrack CD may be worth more than the DVD.
