Review Of Funny Boy: Warmhearted, Funny & Deeply Tragic

Funny Boy Starring Arush Nand,Brandon Ingram,Nimmi Harasgama,Ali Kazmi,Seema Biswas,Agam Darshi ,Ruvin De Silva,Shivantha Wijesinha,Rehan Mudannayake Directed by Deepa Mehta Rating: **** To be gay in the midst of a civil war in conservative Sri Lanka. That is the crux of Deepa Mehta’s latest film, her finest since Water in 2005. I remember having heated arguments with Deepa when she cast Lisa Ray as a widow of Varanasi and John Abraham as a dhoti-clad social reformist in Water. We had a bet. If the casting worked I lost. If it didn’t I won. I lost. | Click Here...
