Anupama

A fairly entertaining Bollywood melodrama, with some decent songs and a compelling (though quite predictable) romantic plot. Nice cinematography. The main problem is that most of the principal characters are exagerrated to some degree. This is most painfully felt in "Annie" (no doubt a nod to Annette Funicello) who is obnoxiously bubbly and ditzy. But even she settles into a more well-rounded character by the end. The film is rather long, it seems like an 85-minute film stretched out to 140.
