uncorrupted movie., 29 February 2004
Author: Herag Halli from Heraganahalli, India

The only name that drew me to this movie was Om Puri. This actor has a commanding voice and an astounding Screen presence so much the younger Actor's have lot to learn from this veteran of method acting. The movie is an expose of Indian corruption on the background of martyrdom of an young son and the family's struggle to cope with it. Some scenes are very heartfelt and moving with flashbacks that seem enough to portray the depth of affection in the family. The tenacity of a father and his daughter-in-law(she considers herself a widow even though she was only engaged to him at this death-played seemingly well by a debutant actress)to take a road uphill againest all odds, is well told.Even though the movie lacks the typical Bollywood decorations it is still gripping mainly because of the heartwarming Story and Om Puri.
