It is definitely a treat to peruse it. <br /><br />It was nice to read your article on Amu. I saw this film long back, maybe more than a year ago. I still possess the DVD. The film definitely should have been shown in the theatres or on TV and certainly the story line and konkana sen's strong acting would have pulled the masses into the theatre. After seeing the film, things were so transparent to the public (like who did what) that it would have created another uproar. I live in Canada, whenever this topic comes up when we are with our Sikh friends, it becomes painful to defend India by any means. These politicians put us to shame. Many Gurudwaras here have put up the board of "Khalistan" on their wall and have depicted the pictures from 1984 riots. They definitely don't want people to forget what the people of India have done to them. I don't know if this pain is ever going to be healed.<br /><br />Thanks to Shonali Bose who in spite of all the odds, completed the film and released it on DVD. Good luck to her husbnad for Chittagong.<br /><br />We keep on listening things about Amitabh Bachchan. Don't know what to say. All I can say is that it is difficult to find people who are perfect, everybody has a tainted history.Nina Sinhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06539222894491695426noreply@blogger.com
