The contradictory comments here all have some truth in them. The movie is long, the 'obsequiousness' of Dr Aziz is painful to watch because it is difficult for a Westerner to understand the strong idea of deference to authority that exists for some people in some Asian cultures. (I am qualifying so because I have only spent 5 years in Asia long after the 1st colonial period ended)
But, to the point: Guinness as a Brahman. A certain Professor Godbole... the foreigner's singsong emulation of the Indian... the world's oldest religion summed up in a sentence by a man who is always rushing off to plunge his feet in the school's pool of water... Best to laugh when our visions of the East are so well sent up.
Certainly my favorite part of the movie. Godbole. lol
7 / 10
