I was about 10 when the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal had surfaced to public knowledge. I was living in Patna at that time. I remember “it” because it was all over the news. The newspapers in Hindi termed it as ‘Yaun Sambadh’. I did not understand what it meant. I assumed they meant ‘young’ and did not …

I was not interested in watching this movie. From the trailers and name, I felt like it was some idiotic movie justifying an extra marital affair, with an unnecessarily sensational murder plot.
