witnessed in world cinema ,let alone Indian cinema and the lyrical editing and the melodiously haunting background score only enhance the affect of being in religious sanctuary. The powerful finale is executed in a subtle manner, which has never been witnessed in Hindi cinema and will thaw the most cynic critics of their bias against this genuine classic.
Ultimately, the applause goes to Pankaj Kapoor, the meticulous script and the immaculate direction, which captivates you from the opening, credits, which are a treat in them self to the ultra humane finale, which is beyond, praise and will pierce your heart and melt your soul.
The questions about religious morality and ritual ambiguity have been challenged and answered as never before, with a haunting and languidly shot and scored masterpiece which needs to be seen by one and all, the accusations against Bollywood of being sentimental and predictable will never be relevant after this extremely intelligent and thought-provoking yet enthralling religious drama penned with painstaking accuracy by a literary intellectual who does not sacrifice or makes any compromises at the altar of cinematic purity but pays a great tribute to human faith which is
