Bombay

 
This is an Indian film directed by Mani Ratnam, which centred on Bombay Riots in December 1992 and January 1993. According to the information, the riots started as a result of communal tension prevailing in the city after the Babri Mosque demolition on 6th December 1992.
Shekhar fell in love with a Muslim  girl who named Shaila Bano at the first sight, however, Shekhar was the son of a traditional Hindu family in a seaside village in Tamil Nadu. Their love was forbidden in the both family. They have to escaped from the village and eloped to Bombay. The two get married and Shaila gave birth to twins, Kabir Narayan and Kamal Basheer. With the outbreak of religious riots, Shekhar's Hindu father and Shaila's Muslim father and mother visited the family because they worried about their children, and were overjoyed to see their two grandchildren. Meanwhile, they also reduce the
conflict with each other. Unfortunately, the riots became more and more critically. The Grandparents were died in the riots and the twins were separated. In the end of film, the bombay went to peace and the family reunioned.

In my opinion, the theme of film is "two religions, one India". In the film, Shekhar came from a Hindu family and Shaila came from  a Muslim family. They got married and gave birth to twins which implied that Hindu and Muslim could live in harmony through respecting each other. Although Hindus and Muslims have two different religious beliefs, however, they are all Indian. In the end of film, people were aware of the point. They put down their arms and hugged each other. This was a good ending, and highlighted the theme " two relegions, one India ".
As an Indian film, there were some beautiful songs and dances among this film, which revealed the characters' inner world and the development of the plot. This is a special film narrative method, which is often applied to Indian film. I like the song and dance which describe Shekhar and  Shaila meet at the second time. Shekhar express his love to Shaila bravely by eyes. But Shaila is a shy girl, she keep avoiding the eye contact, meanwhile, she also begins to like Shekhar. The song and dance shows their inner activities vividly. In addition, I like the plot that two grandfathers quarrel with each other because of the twins' religious beliefs. The quarrel between them is interesting. They also let go of their enmity and join hands gradually.
