For the people who didn't like it, maybe you didn't get the mother-daughter dynamic. But I enjoyed it and found the acting just fine among all the actors.
I remembered the mother as being in Mississippi Marsala many years ago.
I liked the story and that it switched back and forth between mother and daughter and we were able to glimpse some of India.
I liked the blend of Indian culture contrasted with American and the blend between old and new traditions. There was a good balance of both. I like the way the daughter was portrayed as independent, yet she still had a bond to her mother. A very loving relationship.
The father relationship to his wife and daughter was also good.
The movie stood alone as a family drama about relationships and the modern and the old fashioned, between the new and the traditional and people loving each other and accepting each other's values.
Spoilers ahead********************************
And when mother and daughter teamed up to whoop his abusive a** that was extremely satisfying!
Sorry guys!
