Is Mira Nair’s A Suitable Boy a faithful adaptation of Vikram Seth’s lengthy novel, or does it get tangled up in its own excesses and restrictions?
We also talk about its ensemble cast, the show’s relevance to today’s India, and whether making it largely in English was a good idea.
Later, we discuss the reopening of Indian cinemas during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and whether or not we’d go to the movies if work demanded it.
