Good start, but then it gets ruined

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

There is no story. It is aftermath. How India behaves and is a stage for the widows. They are not even real widows; married at the age of four or five or worse months after they are born. These widows are estranged by their families, their in-laws and it is pathetic how they still strive to live.Even today, the neglect they experience from a contemporary Indian society, it is unnerving to view the truth and Dilip Mehta accomplishes to do it. A marvelous work by the Mehta siblings.The Forgotten Woman is a great documentary related to the Oscar nominated 2005 film Water and perfectly fits as a complementary to it. If you have watched Water, then do watch this brilliant piece of direction, moreover a realistic approach to the negative side of the colorful country, India.(I am 20 years old - bit.ly/TEJAS)
