Beautiful emptiness maybe, but emptiness nonetheless. Sure, the actors in here are all very attractive, the costumes and sets are opulent, but the story has simply too few memorable moments to make this film a memorable watch. It is an Indian film that runs for half an hour with a bit of a German impact in terms of the producers. The "Regina Ziegler presents" part was possibly the most embarrassing moment and the film hadn't already started there. It's probably only a good watch for huge fans of Irrfan Khan, who is still very young in here. Or maybe not as I like him and wasn't really impressed either. Yes there are boobs in here, but you can watch porn for that. Anyway, it's not really the actors' fault they were given such an underwhelming script here by the late writer and director Mani Kaul. Prime example of style over substance that would definitely have needed more meat to make for a compelling watch. Not a complete failure, but also not good enough to let me recommend it. Thumbs down.
