Saw this wonderful Mira Nair film last week.The casting, the direction and editing is just too good.A thread of continuity runs thought all the scenes which are essentially a series of disconnected incidents from the lives of Ashok(Irfan Khan) and his family .I particularly liked a scene where Ashok and his kid son reach the fag end of rocks on a sea shore and the father tells his son ."I hope you will remember this day for a long time, today we went as far as we could go, until we could go no further".At places i found the movie lacking in emotional intensity but the subtleness makes it more applealing and realistic, anyways for thoes who want a emotional thriller they can always watch a Shanrukh Khan starrer.The movie has tempted me to pick up Jhumpa Lahiri's Namesake.
