I loved  "namesake". Actually it was special for me coz I could corelate it with my own experience when I was in Texas USA. The loneliness of the characters in movie was the same which I went through sometime back. Hence this movie was a great joureny across the memory lanes. The Bengoli lifestyle, way of thinking and manners reminded me of my Begoli friend with whom I used to share my apartmet in Texas.

More so is the melodious music in movie which is just awsome. It touches you and take you to alltogether different world. Relieves pain and has a different ex-pression which can not get potrayed through words. This a typical Meera Nair thing which was also prominent in Monsoon Wedding.

The emotions  and relationships potrayed in movie reach to your heart and soul . A housewife who leaves everything behind and adjusts herself in a lonely country for 25 years and then filally returns to pursue her true love that is music (excellently expressed by Tabu). A professor and husband who is practical, emotional and true book lover that he names his kid by the name of an author whom he revered ( played by Irfan Khan. By looking at his acting prowess you wont believe that he is not a bengoli and his surname is Khan). And their amercan born confused desi kids who are funny, different as well as sensitive.

All in all, its an woderful and enriching experienece  and can be explored.
