Reviews for Mother India
The most popular film in Indian history -- it's said to have been playing somewhere in the country every day since its release.
Often said to have helped set the pattern for the nearly 50 years of Indian film that has followed it.
Throughout Mother India, [Mehboob] presents the landscape, the crops, the herds of livestock practically as characters in themselves.
The only thing this ponderous Bollywood epic could inspire is matricide.
