The Stranger Suggests
Film
'Vanaja' at Varsity
Vanaja is not a happy film. Bad things happen to its main character, a 15-year-old girl whose father is an alcoholic fisherman, whose village is desperately poor, and whose virginity is executed by a wealthy rapist. If the movie is mean when it comes to her life, it is generous when it comes to her one passion: dancing to traditional Indian music, dancing in rich robes and jewels, dancing with the gods.

This was a very interesting movie.
But first, a warning.
It is NOT a Bollywood flick.
At all.
