Fire in the Mountains

The movie is carried on the broad shoulders of all relatively unknown actors who have played an amazing role. Each one of them is instrumental to the story and has played their role to the T. The mother and father were especially good. The father portrayed the helplessness of being stuck in a situation really well. The mother on the other hand is a passive aggressive being who wants to do right by her family but is drowned in the woes of her life and can't do anything. The kids too played their roles really well and especially the teenaged daughter was a perfect fit for the role.

The fact is that the acting was so good and crispy that the incredible locales of Uttarakhand just remained as a backdrop for the movie and you hardly end up even noticing them. This is a testament to how well the actors portrayed the characters.
