What do you think Sophie Mols' first reaction of the Kochamma family was? Baby Kochamma was trying so hard to impress her and her mother, and even put on an English accent at one point. When they started singing the song in the car, I could only imagine Sophie's confusion and surprise.

I also was wondering this. I think that Sophie Mol was a little bemused but probably nonchalant about going somewhere new and meeting all these different people. She probably wasn't expecting anything, or didn't know what to expect, so she wasn't all that weirded out.

i agree and ould add that when Chacko picks her up and requests politely but firmly that he put her diwn. it described him (in Estha's eyes) as deflated somehow. i think the family was hoping for a little more gusto and excitement from her.
