The soundtrack to Mira Nair's 1992 social drama set against the aftermath of the Ugandan Asian exodus is noteworthy for its original score by the Southern Indian classical violinist Dr. L. Subramaniam and its non-Indian tracks. Untypically for an Indian soundtrack Subramaniam mixes Smiley Lewis, Otis Redding, a token Mukesh (his hit "Mera Joota Hai Japani") and others. An Indian rather than a filmi soundtrack. ~ Ken Hunt
