I think the rating here at the time of writing (6.something) is undeserved. I watched this today and it was a good movie.
The actors portrayed their roles nicely, the emotionality of the situation was very well captured. The locality where the characters lived, the mannerisms of what might happen in a family in such a place, most of it seemed authentic to me.
And of course, the importance of the message the film carries cannot be stressed enough, specially in these times when the political machinery is out to communalize everything in their greed for votes.
I recommend going to the theater for this one.
