    another hindi movie about tackling societal issues and suggesting some reform :) i don't think i'll ever dislike this genre

    i think every city they mentioned (besides delhi) was new for me. so that did a good job of showing me just how far off the map our main character is from. also, i never imagined people from villages being overstimulated in the city, but of course that makes sense. when i think of the "village" im from, i fail…

    i think i'll put it all into a video format (my youtube) :D but a preview of my thoughts:

    - watched it for 1st time exactly 10 years + 11 days ago (understood nothing then)
    - beautiful cinematography
    - great drama, well written characters and plot…
