Thanks for your input, Jayanta. Well, I thought Gogol’s character was not fully fleshed out, especially considering that he was one of the most important character in the story. Have no complaints about how Ashima and Ashoke’s characters were handled, though.

I do not agree with the reviewer about the rating of the story. I and many of us coming from similar background, who immigrated to this country in the early seventies, feel that the story is an imposing drama, masterfully written in minutest details of an immigrant family struggling to cope with an alien surrounding and alien culture. We can identify ourselves with every stage of the drama and wonder how the author, though belonging to second generation of immigrants, could potray in vivid detail the life and traditions of the culture they belonged. The story also should get a rating of 4.5.

I am glad that you liked it. Being a first generation immigrant in the U.S. (daughter of Meerut-born and raised parents), I really related to it. It took me a two hour drive to Chicago to see it. But it was a movie that made me call my mother right away and tell her I loved her.
