But why are you reading this far? An Indian film? Starring Mamatha Bhukya and Urmila Dammannagari? Lesser readers would already have tuned out, but you are curious. And so I can promise you that here is a very special film. It was made by the director as part of his master’s thesis in the film department at Columbia University, shot over a period of years on a $20,000 budget, and all I can say is, $20,000 buys a lot in India, including a great-looking, extraordinary film.
