Some reasons why you would not watch this movie: 1. Everything is so refined that it does not let you move out of your seat. The direction, the sequences, the acting.
The movie is not just "art-lovers" movie but overall an extra-ordinary. Ramsharan pays a substantial dowry for Kalki and gets her married to his eldest - or so he hopes - for every male in the village, including his younger son, Sooraj, and he himself wants a piece of Kalki - for himself - and are willing to do anything to satiate their non-existent sex-life. But there is hope when a friend informs Ramsharan that he has located a bride for his eldest, a beautiful young woman named Kalki, who lives nearby, sheltered by her father. No marriage has taken in this village for 15 years, save for one, which was annulled as the young 14-year old bride turned out to be a 14 year old boy. A widowed man, Ramsharan, ponders his plight and that of his two grown son, who he is unable to get married. This practice continues on and as a result, many years later there are men and boys everywhere and no women. Shortly thereafter the father takes the baby and drowns it in a Calderon of milk. But when the midwife announces that the child is a daughter, the banging stops, followed by a stunned silence. When the child's cry rings, the father bangs on a steel plate to attract the attention of all the villagers, who assemble, eager to hear the good news. A woman, attended by two midwives, is giving birth in a small village in India.
