The director of the festival had seen the film in London and insisted that we enter the film in the festival. The first festival we went to was Locarno in Switzerland. The first inkling we got of the fact it might have an audience outside of India was when the actors read the script and really liked it.

The film was really that for me.ĪK: what have the screenings of the movie been like around the world?ĪKh: When we planned the film, we planned it for an Indian audience. That you can put into any society or any timeframe. It's a story about the triumph of the human spirit and about the underdog achieving the impossible. The film was not really anti-British, it was about human beings. You also have the scene with the untouchable, where the whole village is shown in a bad light.
The three Seniors don't like what Russell is doing and in the village you have Lakha who is not a nice guy. Amongst the British you have Elizabeth, who is a wonderful character. I don't think it was for the director either. But as it was only one reaction, I didn't pay much attention to it.įor me it was not really an anti-British film.
If a large proportion of the British audience had felt that, then I would have felt a need to react more and would have been more concerned. So all the critics here, except one, liked it. Jonathan Ross and the Guardian thought very highly of the film. The Telegraph said you should be ashamed - are you?ĪKh: Actually, we got some wonderful reviews in the UK. Q: Some critics in England said it was an anti-British film. Q: If you were doing it again, how would you do it differently?ĪKh: If we did it differently, then the film would turn out differently, and I don't think I would want that.
