It is only in the fertile soil of India that we can see such films about anti-feudal thoughts today. For this country, this is by no means a reflection on history, but a cry to today's society. Just like the final tragic ending of the movie, sincere free love is almost impossible to achieve in reality. There is a feudal and outdated gate that separates the two coldly, and the only way is to achieve it in a dream.
The story of nearly three hours is definitely not only about these. There are also many problems of existence and social reality, such as family, prostitutes' true feelings, rank, etc., which are shown in the film one by one. The theme of the story is rich but simple, making it clear at a glance, and all the infections are so clear and unambiguous. Impression is inevitable.
Apart from the sincerity and profoundness of the ideological content, what fascinates me the most is the way of expression: Shakespeare-style lines, a dialogue similar to Qiong Yao's, beautiful and gorgeous Indian dances, the whole film is like a romantic realism feast, delicious food and wine , all in all, it is an interpretation of beauty.
Don't want to say more, well, the movie is really good.
