I am an Anglo-Indian, and feel many aspects of film were well portrayed, the idea of being "mixed up" was put forth quite well. However, I can't really relate to Victoria, as I am of a younger AI generation, who grew up in independent India, I see myself as Indian first and Anglo second.
I have to second the first comment, the use of non-Indian actors, is both annoying and insulting! India produces more films than Hollywood, has quite an extensive roster of actors, surely, George Cukor could have cast Indians in those roles. To think he made a movie about Indians, and not casting Indian actors, is absurd!
