GALIGE

A self-made woman befriends a poor old couple who pretend to be her long-lost grandparents, although she does not accept their assertion of a biological relationship.

A contemplation on religion-fuelled violence and redemption, M. S. Sathyu’s _ Galige_ humanely captures a phase of brutal communal disharmony in India. Scrutinizing the vulnerable side of youth caught in a wave of fanaticism, the film beautifully upholds kindness as the core necessity for reform.
