I give this movie a rating of 10 because this was one of the most touching movies I have seen for a long time. I have to admit that I watched most of it through misty eyes!! And that is TOUGH for a man to admit...
Decidedly my view is biased because most of what happens in the film has happened to me in real life. Regardless, Roshen Seth gives a superlative performance as an Indian struggling to cope with being a widower and in a new country with his son and his American wife. The director does a magnificient job of portraying conflict between the father and the daughter-in-law without anybody showing up as "the bad guy." In the end the resolution, though expected, is powerful and moving and yet subtle.
