Direction:
Famous Iranian filmmaker and prestigious award winner Majid Majidi want to recreate the magic of his movie children of Heaven with Indian backdrop. He showcase his cinematic excellence on Canvas and walls. The best thing about his direction is brilliantly capture human emotions especially sibling bonding.
Performance:
This movie is really great debut for Ishaan Khatter. His acting was really awesome through out the movie. Malavika Mohanan looks good in the role of elder sister. G.V. Sharda also impressive with only Tamil dialogues. There was very little scope for Tannishtha Chatterjee as supporting role due to short length of role.
Script:
Story line has great resemblance with Hollywood film Slumdog millionaire however this movie failed to reach that label. Great inclusion of Sibling bonding, friendship, betrayal and common human emotions in script. Climax left many questions unanswered and that's why this is different cinema.
Music:
A.R.Rahman has collaborated with Majid Majidi second time after Muhammad: The Messenger of God. Song "Ala Re Ala" was good one.
Box-office:
As this is low budget movie, so box-office collection will not be a bog concern. Starting day collection was lower than expected collection however it will gain the momentum in the coming days.
Last Words:
Please avoid this movie if you hate artistic approach in cinema.

Great cinematic experience with script make is worth watch
Predictable but good, overall.
My Rating : 6/10
It's not a mainstream film, that's for certain, it's more a 'festival' film I suppose which means that it's open to interpretation and rough around the edges.
I found the plot predictable, there are a couple of really well-acted scenes and the cinematography takes advantage of Mumbai's highly urban settings.
Nice film, albeit niche and not for everyone.
Majidi never disappoints.

A 19 year old peddler from Mumbai finds solitude in his past, meanwhile his estranged sister, who in a bid to protect her brother lands up in jail.
