Indian production about a warrior for a brutal warlord who abandons his violent lifestyle. He is relentlessly pursued by another warrior, since simply walking away is forbidden. After witnessing his own son's murder, he befriends a young thief whose family he may or may not have killed during his old life. Together they walk through sumptuous landscapes and meet interesting people on the way to the mountains, an oasis of sorts of which he has visions of a girl in the snow. The cinematography is undeniably beautiful, especially compared to modern Hollywood epics bloated with CGI, of which this has none. However, the visuals tend to obscure the fact that the story is not that compelling, or at least not compellingly told.
