Another slow Saturday, relaxing, taking it easy. Made batata poha for breakfast, Caroline talked with her mom, and later, we had pizza with Sonal, Khushboo, and Hemu before going to see the Bollywood film Kisna.

Kisna starred Vivek Oberoi with a special appearance by Sushmita Sen and support by Isha Sharvani, Om Puri, and Amrish Puri. A nice love story taken from Hindu religious history about Krishna and Radha set during the great division of 1947. A man’s honor and commitment to his mother to protect an innocent girl whose father is murdered during the uprising is pushed to the limit on their journey to reach safety in Delhi. However, love blooms between the British girl and the young Hindu man, while conflict rages around him from a prince who wants to marry the girl and the man’s brother and uncle who want the girl dead. Tragedy encroaches with harrowing escapes until love and honor bring the story to a romantic end. A.R. Rahman did another great job on the soundtrack, as he usually has. Again, we were out at the Tempe Discount Theater, which occasionally shows Hindi (Bollywood) films, of which we’ve been to at least a dozen. Like most Indian movies, there were no less than five musical numbers, and the movie was about three hours long.
