Chai Pani Etc. (2004)
India, full stop.

A film full of humour, which reminded us a lot of the India we discovered more than ten years ago. Loved the restaurant scene - this happened to us practically every place we went to during our visit of Rajasthan. Great performances by Zafar Karachiwala and Konkona Sen Sharma. You are left to ponder whether standing up for what you think is right will actually prevent you from moving forwards in life. The film has a very autobiographical feel to it. Apparently there are three methods of attaining your means : 1) Wading through the bureaucratic labyrinth 2) Bribing your way to the top of the list 3) Relying on the influence from someone who lies above your correspondent's pay-grade
