Thought I will give some info about this movie, as it is shot near Bhopal in a village called Bhadwai. Well, there is nothing to boast about that village. It is a regular village, lost in time and memory of a billion Indians. Much like any Indian village. However, what is interesting is that it brings out raw bundelkhand (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundelkhand) on the big screen.
Here is an article in outlook - http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?266468
I always wanted people living in cities to visit villages. To see life in dusty, out of power and wood burning houses. Ever thought what is going on in the brown tile covered house, while passing on a highway. Where does a narrow (mud) road off a state highway take you. Just to visit a village out of curiosity.
Although, it makes me think that people won’t go to villages to see the backward, slow (halted) pace of life. They will go for a better reason – in search of innocence. That is while it lasts.
