I'm not usually one for musicals or movies heavy on music, and India has never been my cup of tea. So, on paper, this film shouldn't have been my thing at all. But surprise, surprise — I actually enjoyed it! Quite a bit, in fact. The singer's life story intrigued me and once again reinforced my belief that fanatics of any kind are a toxic presence that society could do without. Plus, I even liked the quirky 80's Indian pop.
