However I love all the characters and their struggle to find purpose in their superficial lives. I'm not much into Bollywood, but I figure I check out this highly rated movie. However the death of someone special ignites a dangerous fire in them all. At first, they don't understand the commitment and the drive of the characters. She goes to India to meet up with a friend who introduces her to a bunch of University friends. She wants to make a film about it, but the film company doesn't want to. Sue finds her grandfather's journal of his days as a prison guard in colonial India. Also, for Westerners not used to Bollywood films, you might be interested to hear that corruption (particularly police corruption) is a relatively common theme in Indian films. And yet, the film says at the beginning that it's a work of fiction.interesting. By the way, the MiG-21 crashes which made up a significant part of the latter portion of film have apparently been a serious problem in India. I am pretty sure the Indian politicians did NOT appreciate this film and its condemnation of brutal police tactics to squelch protest! Overall, despite being uneven, the film is quite good and interesting as it seems to encourage what might be perceived as terrorism! A very compelling film despite the slow start. This later portion was much better and poignant, as the students start to realize that even today in India there is corruption and repression that must be fought and it's a close parallel to the story about the Indian revolutionaries of the 1920s. Fortunately, through the course of the film, the students did improve in this regard and began to take the project more seriously. A bit more subtlety would have been nice. The students should have been oblivious to their past but making them annoying jerks seemed a bit too much, as it was very hard to like any of them during the first portion of the picture. I liked the film but think they overdid this aspect a bit. And, like a typical Indian film is shows a lot of fun-loving young Indians singing and dancing. Can she get through to these jerks and get them to realize the great price that was paid to create modern day India.and thus get the film made? Like most Indian films, this one is quite long-nearly three hours. There is a huge problem, though, as the students are mostly very spoiled young people who are more interested in becoming like Westerners than doing a serious film about their forefathers.

But because there is no money, she decides to use some college students instead of professional actors. But her bosses have no interest in such a project (perhaps because she's in the UK), so she takes off for India to do the film herself.with no funding. This is because she's read through her grandfather's diary and although he was a British officer, he had great respect for these Indian patriots. Sue is a pretty young British lady who wants to make a film about the Indian uprising of the 1920s.
