Feb 10, 2007 - I'm deeply disappointed in Deepa for crying racism regarding people questioning the use of models in the film...she claims they do not ask the same question about white actors yet people do all the time...people are not questioning whther or not indians are beautiful people they are questioning this narrow definition of beauty...it seems to me that it is Deepa,not the people questioning, that seems to have issues with whether or not indians are beautiful people...

Mar 16, 2007 - Overrated and over wrought. Simple politics, and an insipid storyline. Not to mention pseudo three dimensional characters who, in their "complexity" show off how TWO dimensional they really are.

Anuradha18 Says:

Apr 5, 2007 - i completely agree, n the reason many people even ask this question is b.c bollywood does use a lot of beauty queens as actors and actresses...i mean lets face it there is a big difference b/w gwenyth paltrow aishwarya rai. gwenyth is not a beauty queen and she is not considered ms. world but actress like aish. are considered that way. i think every culture has a narrow definition of beauty

Anuradha18 Says:

Apr 6, 2007 - are you kidding? how can you belittle the lives of these widows? It is so emotional i cried from start to finish. the movie was so real, their pain was so real.

Radian1991 Says:

Sep 15, 2007 - Deepa Mehta is one of the biggest Anti-Hindu in this world today.Her movies try to depict Hinduism in the most negative ways possible.

Feb 4, 2008 - If you weren't moved by this movie its probably because you have no soul or sensitivity. Lisa Ray's performance was outstanding. She goes through so many subtle changes from beginning to end of each scene. I have never seen an actress that so genuinely exudes innocence. The story was compelling and based on real issues. If thats not what good filmaking is about then I don't know what is.

May 28, 2008 - i agree it was on real facts but it shows some false things in the movie which were not right! in the movie someone says tht Bhramins are allowed to have sex with anyone they like... this is not true....Bramins are priests and they are thought as pure...this is insane..it is nothin but only nonsense

indiagreat2 Says:

May 28, 2008 - true my friend...

indiagreat2 Says:

May 28, 2008 - yes right..i agree..but hindu scriptures doesnot support the activities they show in the movie..they show wrong stuff abt hindu scriptures...the movie shows false adaptions of rules of scriptures by ppl

indiagreat2 Says:

May 28, 2008 - you are a bitch!!!
