In one word? INSANE!
I had to research the whole India situation for an Empire and Colonialism course at the Uni when I came across this.
At first, I could not believe the core plot came from a real story, but then the way they used it to wrap around the aftermath, cultural and personal, of colonialism - never saw it like that.
That mysterious Queen is such a fresh way to show "A Queen" - that's hard to imagine for those of us who are used to the antics of the British Royalty. The words "Royal Dignity" come to mind.
The classic "do not give up" message but delivered in a way that gives hope and puts a smile on your face. That end melts my heart.
More people got to watch this - it's a shame that all the best movies in the world are so hard to get to.
