I watched it last weekend. Umm. It was certainly...a movie. Yes.

We ended up having a family discussion when the British troops arrived at the end about whether this was a movie in which Muslims were portrayed as good guys. With their turbans and what I know of Anglo-Indian history, my contention was that Sikhs were the ones coming to the rescue at the end. timprov said that probably made Muslims the good guys because they were off minding their own business somewhere, which was more than could be said for the other large Indian religious groups as portrayed in the movie.
