For such a tirade of abuse it would be nice to see some justification for
Mark's opinions.  After ten minutes was he bored with the film?  Was he
sickened by the attitudes of the portrayed characters?  Was it a realistic
portrayal of the then current socio-political set-up?  Or did he think
the movie was highly inaccurate, indulgant, self-satisfied, trivial,
glorying in a sad period of history, or what?   What does he mean by
"lowlifes from India"?

Mark, so you didn't care for this movie;  are you going to tell us why?
