Bombay 1995

       
        It is a love story between a Hindu boy and a Muslim girl. This movie just made so interested on finding out the history of these two religions. Their families stand in different positions toward god and view each other enemies and couldn’t tolerant anyone’s behavior any little more. However, it doesn’t change any bit between this pair of love birds. They run away from home and got married in Bombay. When they start their new life in the small apartment in Bombay, I couldn’t stop exclaiming how worthy it is for him to insist on pursuing his love at the first place. He fell in love at the first sight of her. He waits in the rain of where she gets off the bus back from school every day in order to getting to know her name and the moment the wind blows up her veil to see her face. The interesting scene is that he pretends to be another Muslim girl by wearing their special black gown for school. It actually connect with what he expressed in the last few scenes that he doesn’t care what religions they both engaged in, they are just Indians; and when he stands up bravely against the evil elements and stop the riots on 6th December 1992 to prevent his wife and twin sons from a variety of circumstantial events. I cannot admit that I almost gave up on keeping watching this great and heart-warming movie after seeing so much long dancing and singing in their language I’ve no idea. Fortunately, I stayed till the end of it and wept my tears several time during the movie. And I strongly recommend it if you have no access to internet by the outcome Sandy did and do not want to wasting time by just sitting around in the house!
