A very well portrayed coming to fruition drama film. I will inspire the underdog and down trodden in ghettos all over the world. More importantly provide realisation to the better off to aspire towards greatness.

a must watch ...its the "state of art" movie ... Salute to Mira Nair's direction ...language is so effectively used that it will get in the minds of non-English viewers also ...it surpasses the commercialism of "slumdog millionaire" ...movie did remind me of some shots from slumdog bt the treatment of reality is much much higher and will truly touch your heart
