...with prostitutes, consuming the narcotic bhang, and even befriending a "Britisher"?the film is structured around a friendship between Pandey and an English officer named Gordon.

Her performance was so convincing that when the actors took time out for lunch, I found myself confiding in her about a romantic breakup I was suffering through.
