milindcal Mira Nair has done a wonderful job on presenting a deeply touching and poignant tale in the Bombay slums. The movie aptly captures the life of kids dwelling in the rosy slums of Bombay. The background music is beautiful and contemplates the picture. The story is powerful,painful and a delight to watch.
mehrosea Simply pathetic . It is not a movie but a 145 min torture on ur brain
Makhzumi Chillum (Addiction). Manju (innocence). Chaipao (Hardship , frustration , ignorance ,eagerness , ambition). Empathy . Its way above normal Bollywood Movies.Something that upcoming Directors and movie makers should look at.Mira Nair makes us look into the lives of these superbly written and executed characters.What you feel at the End is empathy.Loved every bit of it.Well performed and very well directed.Normally you don't expect a Bollywood movie to be of this much level and class.But this movie will surely change your views about Bollywood cinema.Bollywood cinema at its best.Mira Nair you Rock!!! A Must see for all Bollywood Movie Freaks.
theanoopk movie described the dark side of Indian urban society.A child have to work on roadside tea stall. he wanted to skip from all circumstances around him. Including try to save his drug addicted friend and save a girl from being prostitute . but can't even give himself a good life. Story starts with red light area and slum of mumbai and ends with it. this movie force to think us can we live like this ,can't we do something for those slum children who just started their life. director unleashed the other side of Bombay life, not even a single shot of rich Mumbai. finest directed movie ever I seen. this movie is better than "Slumdog millionaire".
