Heartfelt and specific

A very nice slice-of-life movie set in rural 1960s India. It revolves around Shankar, the very competent lead servant in the household of a middle-class Indian family. He is a very important presence in the life of the young girl of the family. Yet he is treated like a brainless idiot by the bossy, unsympathetic mother of the family (played by the director of the movie).

A fun comic side to the movie is provided by a couple of schoolroom scenes with a dictatorial, despairing Hindi language teacher. It rang very true.

The movie might be a bit slow for ADD viewers, but I thought it was lovely.
