Watching the movie, you can feel how good the original novel will be. The subtle and sadness is endowed by the temperament of the novel itself. Lahiri wrote for herself and also for those immigrants who have the same experience as her. The life and death of an Indian family's wedding and funeral is also a life. The actor Tabu Meiyan and Lahiri who play the mother seem to be (the writer himself is also a big beauty), and the acting skills are even more amazing. The momentary short-circuit in the...

Ashoke Ganguli: There is something I always wanted to ask you, but never had the courage. All those years ago, why did you say yes to me?
Ashima A. Ganguli: You were the best of the lot.
Ashoke Ganguli: Huh?
Ashima A. Ganguli: Better than the widower with four children or the cartoonist with one arm. I also liked your shoes.
Ashoke Ganguli: Oh. Oh, okay.
Ashima A. Ganguli: Hmm, you want me to say "I love you," like the Americans.

Gogol Ganguli: Are you having an affair?
[more silence]

Gogol Ganguli: That's not why I love you.
