Film Review: Gulabi Talkies


November 07, 2008 Master director Girish Kasaravalli uses the 1999 Kargil War between India and Pakistan as a backdrop in his "Gulabi Talkies" to analyze how a small peace-loving fishing community in the southern coastal State of Karnataka loses its inter-religious harmony. The conflict on the Kargil Heights is never shown, and the tension that builds up between Hindus and Muslims in the fishing village is handled with exemplary restraint. By the end of the film, it's economics, not religion, that drives a wedge between the two groups.
