It is just an OK movie. She looked good enough,and loved the various saris and costumes that she wore throughout the film, although I am not too sure about the red dress thing that she wore for the seduction scene with her hair down. I guess that is meant to portray her sexual attraction, but I actually think she looks much better in her other outfits, whereas the vampy look is not quite..... My main problem with the movie lies with Tilo (Rai), and what is it that she sees in Doug (McDermott) that actually makes her want to break the rules of the spices. As far as I can gather, she just saw him outside her shop, their eyes met, and somehow she is meant to be moved? I just find that part quite unconvincing. I just cannot get whether there was actually any love involved. Seems more like lust.... she wanted her night of passion before going back to the spices. The acting was OK overall.
