Photograph

This is a sweet relationship movie for people older than teenager. A Mumbai street photographer take a photo of a random girl that he sees occasionally and then ends up using that photo to show his mom as "proof" that he has a girlfriend. When his mom comes to town from the village, a temporary arrangement is made to fake being boyfriend/girlfriend until mom leaves. While this is a completely predictable plot line that has been told many times over, the execution here is excellent. The story pacing is perfect, leaving time to sit in the loneliness and the confusion of the relationship and family strain. Very nice.
4 stars (out of 5)
