Hey Ram (2000)

A large part of the three hour running time of Hey Ram is given over to events that take place because of a Hindu/Muslim political situation that I don’t know a damn thing about. I can only judge it on the human story, and happily it doesn't shirk on that. That part of it is a powerful and shocking tale of divided loyalties and life changing tragedies.
The cover art suggests a typical love story, but it's misleading.
What's this? No subtitles for English language speakers on the songs? Sort that shit out, Eros! And put some love into your DVD transfers.
