A Still from 'Water' |
Through pure chance, she crosses paths with Narayan (John Abraham), a young upper class Gandhian idealist, who has just finished his law degree. There is an immediate attraction, but the restrictions placed on interaction with widows, makes it difficult to find a way of pursuing any kind of relationship. Despite this, Narayan ignores the cultural taboos and continues to meet Kalyani in order to marry her.
Encouraged by Chuyia, Kalyani becomes resistant to Madhumati's will, breaks tradition and falls for Narayan, forcing the other widows to question their future and faith. What follows will forever change all of their lives.
'Water' is the final film in Deepa Mehta's trilogy on the elements, following 'Fire' (1996) and 'Earth (1998). It's a film that is not to be missed. |
