I can say without a doubt that this is one of the finest films I have watched in recent times. Each character is strong, independent, yet bound to the family or community by traditions and complex, adaptive way of life. The sense of alienation, neglect, and the fact that the lead characters are being taken advantage of because of their linguistic and geographical differences with the majority, are made evident to us through the splendid yet simple narrative language of the film. A big shout-out to the cast for their stellar performance. A must watch.
