The thing that bothered me about this movie was that the only two adults with a chance of breaking away from tradition and finding their own happiness were the only people in the movie who were gorgeous and very Western-looking. I mean, this pair makes Brangelina look like a couple of losers. The slightly older widow, no longer attractive, is apparently stuck with her life situation. The message seems to be that love only happens to supermodels.
I also didn't quite buy that this budding lawyer would want to marry an illiterate woman. Bad enough that she's a widow. Are we really supposed to accept that he's going to take a chance of cutting himself off from his upper-caste family because he fell in love at first sight with a pretty face? They've spent maybe an hour together?
