Review of Bombay (1995) by Tom G — 12 Sep 2009
I'm overwhelmed by Mani Ratnam. This is the second film I've seen of his political trilogy, and it seems like Danny Boyle has a lot to thank this director for. Manisha Koirala is a brilliant actress. I'm certain of this after seeing only two of her films, both with very distinctive roles. Surprisingly, she's a Nepali actress and studied documentary filmmaking.
Anyway, if you want to watch a film about Hindu-Muslim tension and the suffering resulting from it in (now Mumbai of course), watch this. Though at times slightly unrealistic, the film is nonetheless thought-provoking.
