Worth Revisiting? Yes. If my heart can stand breaking twice for the same movie. I do think the film tries to tackle too many serious issues and never really deals with any of them, and I am troubled by some of the moral issues the film sets out, particularly the guilt around the abortion Safiya (Priyanka Nair) has and the idea that somehow her son's disappearance is some kind of karmic retribution for it. Still, perhaps that's worth further thought and exploration.
