The film looks modern and less dramatic than Bollywood’s, say, 90s, where many of the images were caricatured. The picture is beautiful, there are few songs, and you believe what is created on the screen (almost always). I am not familiar with Indian traditions (caste, rigid patriarchy, etc.), but some things surprised me. The extravagance of his father, the selfishness of his sister (if she wanted to get married, she would help with her image, and not invite guys to blind dates with a "stuffed man"), the complete impenetrableness of the main character of the good half of the film (I began to think that he was a psychopath - no emotion on his face), the desire of Sati to make peace with a mad (I will not be afraid of this word) father. And so on. They say that the Hindus themselves did not recognize themselves in these images - it is understandable. The best films to understand Indian life at the moment I consider “The Lion” and “Slumdog Millionaire” (from what I have seen so far). Lyrical melodramas have somewhat different tasks. It's kind of like, "Is Tomorrow or Not?" with my favorite Indian actor, Shah Rukh Khan. And the pictures shot in Hollywood, similar plot simply can not count: “Sweet November”, “Hurry to love”, “Love and other medicines”, “Dairy teeth”, “Autumn in New York”, “The main thing is not to be afraid”, etc. Even domestic filmmakers contribute to films like "Two on the Ice." Of course, the subject is sad, the movies are necessary, but you will not watch them every day. . .
