India is a poor country, Its THIRD WORLD, people there are babarians they have weird ways - somehow these concepts seem to sell a lot in the west, but then I might be mistaken, there might be other reasons why movies on those lines get good viewership. But then whats more important than the viewership is the academy nomination.
I have always felt that the Academy was miserably wrong with its selection, take for example giving Departed what should have been given to Babel , but Water strongly proves me correct . How the hell did it get nominated.
Its boring, dragging and got not proper story. Ok what happened/happens to the widow,s is wrong but the same is not portrayed as effectively as it could have been. Whats been given more weightage is Lisa ray , her beauty and her being a pros. And the director i guess is grossly mistaken with her stats about the manu nithi, the reason behind widow non-remarriage in old india and the number of widows and all that.
But wateva be the case the movie is totally not worth watching and inspite of some good performance (Seema biswas in particular) is a total drag. And i cant understand why there is gandhi in the movie was he brought in so that academy notices the movie if yes then bad move. Anyways i will give it a 2 on 5 , dont watch.
Cheers,

absolutely correct! I totally agree with you.. I would not even like to call it a movie, it is more of a documentary. It did not arouse any emotion or thought process of any kind in me as viewer. Probably she made this movie coz she knew people would sure watch it once for obvious reasons. I would better call it a commercially motivated art movie.
