The script of this movie has possibly been plagiarized from a famous Bengali novel, "Sei Somoy", written by Sunil Gangopadhyay. There is a court case in India on this (google or check http://www.apunkachoice.com/happenings/20050824-0.html , for example), and the latest is that Deepa wants to settle out of court. Something should be done about this, and such films should not be getting accolades in film festivals. The film is extremely similar to the novel.
The movie is decent otherwise.
Lots of other such links, but let me also include http://www.playbackmag.com/articles/magazine/20050912/mehta.html
