A true story about a boy crippled by polio who demonstrates profound courage when he is abandoned by his family. Saawan saves himself and rescues others with his leadership and humanity. This movie is a reminder that every child has worth and that all who persevere can change the lives of others. An excellent and thought provoking movie that touches the heart and stirs the soul toward a better world.

The movie might be wonderful in Telugu with English subtitles, but the American-English voice-overs are horrific. Americans don't talk like these over-the-top actors who should never work in the film industry again. After about 5 minutes, I had to turn it off.

Paathi is slow and uneventful. It's the story of a man with facial deformities that have nothing to do with the movie. What a lost opportunity to develop his experience into a meaningful tale.

Could easily become a tv series, but the final 5 minutes are some of the dumbest in movie history. Right! A nobody makes a treaty to share the earth with aliens. "Can't we all just get along?" Dumb and dumber.
