What a great story highlighting family, tradition, religion, and culture! What a blessing it would have been if they would have told it a little faster. The pacing felt a bit slow. The dialogue is slow in areas and there are moments where it felt like the story was spinning it's wheels.
There are moments where we gain momentum just to slow it down again. It's almost as if the script notes repeatedly said "slowly." "Take your time," was the underlying theme of this film which they certainly did.
I would love to see a sequel with more visual references of Hindu history and Indian culture, especially parts that have been distorted by western culture. Hopefully they make it tighter so the pacing doesn't feel so glacial, leaving us cold.
