I wouldn't say it was horribly naive....I look at it the same way I see "Philadelphia"...yeah, the film didn't delve far enough into the political situations as one who's indocrinated would expect, but both films were made as an introduction for popular audiences (which, sadly enough, one has to pander to every once in a while).  Despite all this, they're both really good films.  Educational...not really, but good.

Were you expecting Deepha to be able to make a film as brash as "Fire" after all the controversy that film caused in india?  Not yet....soon, maybe, but not yet.
