Water: A painfully beautiful movie

Deepa Mehta's trilogy ends with Water. It is by far the most moving movie out of the trilogy. The characters and the situations are very real. You almost seem transported to the set itself. The moisture and water in the movie seems to surround the viewer in addition to the characters. The music futher haunts the viewer, and sucks them in. The plight of women, the hypocrisy of society, the poverty, the helpness remain etched in your mind long after the movie. The last movie that affected me so strongly was Mr & Mrs Iyer, or Pinjar. I very highly recommend the movie.

Hi Neha...

We have something in common and that is love for movies...

Well the comment for this article is that I really liked Water but you also watch Matrabhoomi... A nation without women...

It is a awesome movie... great performance by Tulip Joshi... and a very touching sensitive topic... which I pray should not be true in current India... I wish mediocre subjects like discrimination because of sex and caste should not happen in India. I want to do someting about it and one day I will do it for sure....

Have a good time...

Bye
