OK, so it looks nice, and is not corny or overdone. In short, this is breathtakingly gorgeous. It sways in the dialogue and breathes in the amazing scenery of its beautiful eco-tourism riverside setting. It has patience and class, stunning cinematography and manages to avoid over-dramatizing events to the point of becoming a soap-opera. About twenty minutes in though, and it became clear this was something quite special. This was my second attempt at the film, and to be honest I was a little nervous as it started with a few choppy-cut edits and musical moments that have become stereotypes of Indian cinema over recent years. A deeply moving experience that pushes the viewers brain to places it didn't expect to go, Kumbalangi Nights is a soothing and reflexive film about family, bonding, love and the determination of human beings to 'do the right thing, right'.
