Hi all,
This mid-week, I saw a couple of off-beat movies. Mr. & Mrs. Iyer, directed
by Aparna Sen was one of them. This is the story of an orthodox traditional
Tamilian housewife (played very well by Konkona SenSharma - Aparna Sen's
daughter).  She is travelling alone with her one year son on a long distance
bus journey back to her in-laws place. Just before the journey, she is
introduced to a co-passenger, 'Raja' Chowdhary, a young modern
photo-journalist - who is in fact 'Jehangir', a Muslim. The role is played
by Rahul Bose.  The story deals with the volatile Hindu-Muslim communal
situation. The communal riots disturb & hold over the bus journey - The
orthodox Iyer girl & the boy are compelled to be companions over a few days
in the curfewed way-side town.
Mrs. Iyer saves the photographer's life from the militant Hindus by claiming
that he is her husband, Mr. Iyer!
They bond & get attracted to each other, without any sexual overtones!
The movie is thought provoking and quite convincing.
Best Wishes.. Have a Nice Day.
