A search for a lost street girl amid exposés of modern sexual behavior in Bombay and a water Mafia in the city, this is a real 'split wide open' of the Indian glamour capital.
The film pits the new India of mobile phones, fancy cars, and a growing middle class against the better-known India of impoverished and exploited street urchins and caste structures. "Split Wide Open" refers to an American-style talk show in which people, in darkness, confess to their secret sexual lives.—L.H. Wong <lhw@sfs.org.sg>
