Nice sad ballad of no success abroad. A must see.
But a bit facile in leading us to the altar of success and sliding down the mishap.
What i mean is this. If an unknown Indian could weave so talentedly into the high good books of his HOD, and also win the the love of a sophisticated American girl, all within about 60 minutes of filming, couldn't his talent plus luck have found him some way to complete his film studies? His rise and fall seem somewhat orchestrated by the auteur.
Sad stories need to be as convincing as success stories. Need to do more than wrench the viewer's hearts.
