Based closely on the real experiences of Mumbai street kids. A bit like Leaf on a Pillow, a good film about street kids in Yogjakarta, Indonesia. Also see Monsoon Wedding, by the same director, Mira Nair.
My Movie Rating: 9 / 10A sad story that needed to be told. There are numerous more children in similar circumstances. Let us all pray for them.
My Movie Rating: 10 / 10The drama is there, but it's not totally believable.
