And intense it certainly was! I don't know why I thought the movie was a lot more light-hearted than it actually was. I wanted to watch it because I missed out on it in the cinemas last year when I was in India and by all accounts would immediately identify myself with it in many ways. Like Gogol's father, my dad got married in an arranged wedding two years after moving to the UK, and like their kids, my sis and I grew up in a western environment/went to a western school. Luckily with a name like Hari, I was spared the ambush that was usually reserved for creatures likes us... I wish I had the patience to read the book cover-to-cover.
