This is a fantastic movie, and one I most likely won't forget soon. This movie is deeply touching and moving. Miranda Richardson gives a stellar performance, and so does Aishwarya Rai and Naveen Andrews.

One of ashwayria's best performances.....infact one of the only performances that I like by her. The movie was really good as well.

Based on a true story, it was acted supurbly. It's English and Bollywood, so if you don't do accents you won't like it. Aishwarya is such a good actress.

Mrs. Ahluwalia's case changed British Law and how battered women are treated. This was suppossed to be the cross over vehicle for Ashwarya Rai but it's Nandita Das who shines.

June 2, 2007Ash is a good preformer at some points, but her play wasnt so catchy in this movie. There was something in her expression that wasnt so sympathetic, but sounded more of guilty in her part. I didnt find the husband's play so catchy either.
There were manythings missing in the movie, in the acting of the main charecters in the movie that made it less attractive and less of telling a true story of a true life. -
