I think this trilogy started out wonderfully, but I found myself frustrated by the the third film. I think the story’s themes were just repeated too many times. Apu is happy, someone close to him dies, Apu is sad, then Apu recovers. This worked in the first two films, but by the third I found myself accurately predicting the entire movie within the first few minutes.

However, I can’t not recommend it. I still think watching the trilogy as a whole is still well worth it.

This is one triology you cannot afford to miss. Its a masterpiece.
