Review: "Water" (4.5 out of 5 Stars)

Friday evening, I had the pleasure of watching Deepa Mehta's movie "Water".

All I want to say about the movie is that everyone from India should watch this movie. Direction and acting is great. Symbolic events in the movie are great - like the handing of Chuiyaa to Narayan at the end (symbol of freedom from oppression) and the crossing of the river by the widows paddled by the eunuch, as a symbol of exploitation from the rich.

"Vidhwa Ashram" or the "Widows Ashram", a prevalent concept in India over the ages, need to be revisited.
