A Naipaulian account of life in pre-independence India

MASSEY SAHIB is a harrowing account of the life of a tenacious Indian bureaucrat in pre-independence India. Two forbidden marriages - one of an Indian Christian bureaucrat (who is a Saheb wannabe) to an Aadivasi girl and the other of a British bureaucrat to a Bengali woman are juxtaposed. The film is somewhat Naipaulian - it exposes the corruption and darkness of the Indian soul. It is not too big on characterization. There wasn't much insight into the psyche of the Aadivasi girl.

ARUNDHATI ROY is wonderful in the silent role of the Aadivasi girl. I am not a big fan of RAGHUVIR YADAV but he does do a pretty good job in his role of a wannabe Indian bureaucrat. JOHN BARRY is a fine actor, I am surprised he moved to India. He could have become a big star in Britain. MASSEY SAHEB is definitely worth a watch especially for the beautiful visuals of rural India.
