Her second non-fiction, “So Far from India” (1982) was a best documentary winner at the American Film Festival. She made two more and then switched to fiction as she wanted more control over the direction of the story. She never looked back. In the last three decades, Nair has created some of the finest films on cultural identity by any director,…

Vietnamese New Year is called Tết in Vietnamese and falls on the same day as Chinese New…
