To me, this movie symbolizes how far the Hollywood movies have come. From early flicks like Laurence of Arabia where there were no women and everyone, including the Arabs, spoke in flawless American accent to a movie made by a Taiwanese director with a largely an Indian cast and a CGI tiger. I guess, we (whoever is meant by that 'we' for each of us) are no longer afraid of foreign accents. Fantastic story; and that's why we watch movies, to see and hear the story come alive right before our eyes. Great seamless use of live and CGI characters to tell the tale and make it alive. Nice acting, even by those who had minor parts (I even noticed the Indian head-wobble a couple of times). I do enjoy Irrfan Khan's subtle style of delivering the lines and emotions without over-acting the part. Nice ending; yeah, we like to believe what want to believe. My Rating: 7.5
