Review of Morning Raga (2004) by Marisa R — 01 Aug 2008

I thought the beginning was very promising; the photography of rural India plus the mesmerizing carnatic music had a lot of potential. But only Shabana Azmi lived up to her usual high standards of acting.

Everyone else was pretty bad; the 'modern' music was very low quality, and their understanding of the music world is quite flawed. As if in 2005 a professional musician will use a battery small boom box to listen to his music.

.. it's like portraying a professional photographer succeeding with a disposable camera. The young actress had the longest roots and no acting skills. The classical music was awesome.
