One of the good things about being in a Metro is the presence of active organizations like the British Council. I decided to attend the screening of 'Educating Rita' at the Film Chamber Theatre. Good thing that they courier the complimentary passes to you ! But, its a strange thing that the British loose their punctuality in India. The show that was to begin at 1830hrs, didn't start till 1850hrs !

'Educating Rita' was a brilliant movie. But I had to really strain my ears to figure out what Rita spoke in her heavy Brit accent. I kinda liked the funda about this hairdresser wanting to change her life, and her passionate belief that getting educated would do just that. Boy, what a struggle. Loads of grit in that girl. Michael Caine plays the Whisky-loving devoted teacher. The transformation in Rita was superbly brought out. And the best part was the end.. after getting used to the patent Bollywood formula, the last thing you expect is what happens here. 'Feel good' film ;).
