A beautiful work of art with an incredible story and even more incredible actors., 25 April 2001
10/10
Author: Maya (Xev_Lizard@yahoo.com) from currently U.S.

I saw this movie and I loved it. It was powerfully beautiful and the character of Maya was unbelievable. (I was pleased to share the name with her.) Indira Varma did a wonderful job and I was completely taken with it. I recommend this movie, although will not be liked by everyone. It is truly a work of art.
