I'm a 1st Gen Indian in a western country. This movie ruined my life. It showed how two loving parents were exploited by some of their kids. Being an only child, my parents took a lot of inspiration from this movie. Of course, as the obliging son, I've done as they wanted and joined the family business after matriculation. But they designed the business structure with this movie in the back of their mind - today, I have no real voting rights or financial stake in the business. Even though I've given my entire youth to the business - including some 80+ hour weeks for good measure.In essence, I can't get financing on my own - not even rent approval. So I'm like the parents in this movie thanks to what it portrayed. Just my two cents but this movie made the 16 years following it a lead up to a very closed off, somewhat miserable life for me.
