Tamhane's Court tries to give us an unbiased bird's eye view of a modern India where people from various strata's of society have to come face to face in a court room to provide justice on the basis of an archaic legal system from the British colonial era. The absurdities and anomalies in the lives of the victim, the accused, the lawyers and the judge are testaments of the social and economic complexities in modern India. Although the film is mostly well thought out and presented, there are some moments which appear affected and thus stood out as jarring and unnatural. It is still a promising debut from Tamhane and it will be interesting to see his future work.
