Movie: Amu

Amu (2005) is the story of Kaju, a twenty-one-year-old Indian American woman who returns to India to visit her family and discover the place where she was born. The film takes a dark turn as Kaju stumbles against secrets and lies from her past. A horrifying genocide that took place twenty years ago turns out to hold the key to her mysterious origins. Written, produced & directed by Shonali Bose
According to me this type of movies are done to death. Every time you see such movies, you get a feeling of... "oh ! no not again". How many times we will re-visit the same stories of a girl/guy searching for his/her past. At the end, it always has a socio-political angle of Indo-Pak partition, riots of 1984, Godhra, Mumbai blasts,Babri Masjid...
We need to get original guys, an especially all such movies get awards across the world. Why can't we take issues/situation which are more contemprory. For me this movie would get 3 out of 5, 2 for Konkana Sen & 1 for Rasool Pookutty (this would have for sure got him to Slumdog Millionaire).
