Last night, I watched Mr. & Mrs.Iyer - probably one of the best indian movies I've watched recently. Aparna's last creation was Paromitar Ek Din - a great movie focusing on the relationship between a mother and her ex-daughter in law. And her latest does not disappoint. With a fabulous score by Zakir Hussain, the film is incredibly poignant and moving. Konkona SenSharma (as Mrs. Iyer) is amazing - her eyes speak a thousand words as her conservative sensitivities are confused by the communal conflict around her. Rahul Bose plays the charming wildlife photographer Raja who Meenakshi is drawn to in a time of need. The movie subtly exposes Meenakshi's social and emotional awakening as she and Raja try to escape the communal violence.
This masterful movie reminds me of another of my favorites - Before Sunset.
