[Assam] Saw The Namesake

[Dilip/Dil Deka]

Gogol  !!!!!!!!   still rings in my ears.
  I also thought it is a good movie. At my age, the captivating scene was when the professor went on a trip and was hospitalized, his helplessness and the call to his wife.

recommendation of our native American friends.

Beautiful!

Very well crafted, acted,directed and obviously from an enormously 
perceptively and sensitively written book which I have not read.

Having known several Bengali families quite well in Southern 
California in the 70s, and having also lived in Kolkata a little; 
many of the little nuances of the lives of Bengali immigrants 
portrayed
faithfully and sensitively , the movie instantly struck a chord. The 
story also could be similar to the experiences of a number of Oxomiya 
immigrants as well in certain areas, even though I would not go so 
far as to suggest it is a typical Oxomiya immigrant's saga.

Another fine creation from Mira Nair. Recommend it highly.
