One of the Best Indian movie I've ever seen. This movie excels in terms of quality in depth, acting and dialog.
I am just tired of watching all the mainstream, cheesy, predictable, hollywood inspired (or blatantly copied) movies that come out year after year. Jaya Vaduri is a great actress. I have seen some of her other films - they are nice as well.
Can anyone put here a list of such quality Indian movie as the Hazaar Chaurasi Ki Maa?
Tried watching Satyajit Ray films? A few of them are masterpieces. As far as films similar to this would probably be "Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi", the link to the film is here - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411469/
Also, Mr and Mrs Iyer is excellent.
