A visual treat. If you have read the book, you will be amazed to see that Ang Lee has brought the book to Life. Complete Justice done to the book. I just fell off my chair looking at the attention to detail. Example: the story is set in 1970s in Pondicherry and you see tamil film, “Vasantha Maaligai” poster which was released in 1972. There is another scene where you see a Murphy Radio with the kid’s image. Hats off! The film starts slow and ends slow, there is a lot of philosophy and God. An Oscar probable.
