Water shows how tradition, instead of protecting people, ends up trapping them.

shakuntala, smiling softly: i don't know.

The production made me bawl my eyes out i won’t lie. The minimum dialogs making such a large impact. Reminds me of a Satyajit Ray type of performance. Also the fact that the film set in India was attacked speaks volume about how the mass felt about this movie.
