Cannes, May 24

IF I were being really stingy about awarding marks, I would give Grace of Monaco 8 out of 10. After all the negative propaganda about the film, when I did watch it a few days ago at Cannes, where it opened the 67th festival, I was surprised by just how much I liked the movie. So did most other Indians. For example, two thirds of the way through, I turned to another Indian journalist in Salle Debussy and said something like: “This is a very good movie.... Not bad at all,” he responded, which from him was high praise.
