Do drop by, when you can, to read the review of the book on my blog:)<BR/><BR/>Your movie review has just whetted my appetite for it. From what I saw in the promos, I had an inkling that cinematic-liberties have been, rather generously, taken. <BR/><BR/>Also, a few people who have read the book have disliked the movie. What ever it is I just can’t wait to watch the movie :)Deliciously Alivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431992268355546378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22153854.post-86917878944187054232007-03-21T00:26:00.000-07:002007-03-21T00:26:00.000-07:00well..havent seen the movie yet but I sure will as...well..havent seen the movie yet but I sure will as I've read the book...<BR/><BR/>commenting here as I couldnt have put my feelings abt the book any better!!!

I happened to go to a film festival where this was the opening film and the director spoke of her vision for the film, but somehow I felt shes never achieved her salaam bombay promise ever againPersona non gratishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347105859803795796noreply@blogger.com
