Storyline
Featured review
Very interesting film indeed!
I saw this at Babylon one evening with my girlfriend (who is Indian so knew the actress that is playing queen - her name is hard to spell for me). At first I did not expect much and thought it was just another drama.
But in the first two minutes the film grabbed my attention. In the first 10 minutes, things had escalated to International level! All while we are sitting in a small train station. I am very interested now and very interested in the characters.
There is one woman who lost her big home during Indian partition (which was like a civil war), my parents come from Jena and they could relate to it, the grief that comes from displacement. How do you deal with this? You go and ask for your palace back. You make a throne for yourself and ask, as only a Queen can. Undeniable.
But the film is not sad at all, but it is full of feeling, like Rilke's verses.
There are elements of surreal used to show the real story, which make things even more real. Like Prime Minister dreams a dream and then goes to the place where the dream happens. We never see politicians' dreams, only the main characters dream in movies. Here everyone has a dream, while the main character holds her make-shift court.
I could not understand some Indian contexts but I am sure there was more as my girlfriend had tears in her eyes and held my arm in the end. I want to see this film again, but I don't know where to get it.
It is easily one of the most worthy watches of this year.
