Cast: Judy Davis
Victor Banerjee
Peggy Ashcroft

The movie is good one. It is about two women visiting India for a trip where they met a guy and made friends. Later when they were for the excursion the younger lady blames the guy for an attempted rape. However, the guy didn't do anything. The movie revolves round this, so I will not take out the suspense, just enjoy the movie.
The movie received two academy awards, one for Best Supporting Actress (Peggy Ashcroft) and the other for for Best Original Score (Maurice Jarre).
