I agree strongly that the screenwriter so often gets forgotten and that it is enlightening to learn more about them, giving us a peek into their creative process. Thanks a lot for the link Anantha.

No stereotypical characters, very light touch. Taraporevala's script did the novel proud. I just found a film being made on her at http://www.avanprojects.com . We know a lot about Nair and film directors, but not about their screenwriters. This sheds lots of light on her. I cried when I saw this film. No stereotypical characters, very light touch.

The struggles faced by the family are very clearly Indian but as you so well put, they're also human and the types of issues that are bound to come up in any family dynamic.
