Summary
"Based on the Booker Prize-nominated novel by Anita Desai, In Custody, the debut of Ismail Merchant as a director, is a wry, lyrical, comic drama about contemporary Indian culture, society, and domestic life. The central themes are, first, the threatened extinction of the Urdu language - much prized for its beauty, sophistication, and its great literary tradition - and, second, the story of two men pursuing their ideals against great odds." --Container
