There's a decent message about the triumph of the community and the homeland in this film, but it's drowned out in sheer runtime. The protagonist, an Indian NASA engineer who seems stoic and pensive to a fault, returns to India to meet his old nanny. In a series of drawn out sequences, he encounters various charming village figures, gets involved with community politics, falls in love with a teacher, builds a hydroelectric power station and champions the cause of education. If this sounds like four or five different movies smashed into one, you'd be right. Each one is decent on its own and the protagonist's emotional journey to improve the lives of his country is admirable, but it's drowned out by the muted acting and the repeated fact that he was already helping them in his original role in NASA. Somewhere between an epiphany and a charity montage, I have to give this film an average score.
