A very realistic
film.
The performance by the 2 boys - rag pickers, particularly the younger ones is laudable with perfect body language
All the actors have done their best
Shooting of progressive flood water entry must have been challenging
The government official's comments about inundation , the children not robbing, the selection of Ali for playing for ranjit trophy without bribery, the manager not touching kamala though attracted, were shown in good light.
The realization that daily meals is more important by the kids n coming out into open air despite lover / husband deserting her n joy of rescuing her baby was shown well
There are many precious messages conveyed useful for us as well as the society n government to take necessary steps to bridge the gap between the affluent n the under privileged.
Ali's family, Alison character are exemplary
The end?
A movie worth watching, deserves oscars. Even better than slum dog millionaire
