A Must Watch

Rating: 9/10 (11 December 2016)

This is a beautiful film. The first half of the movie shines with its masterful absence of dialogue and the bustling Indian urban landscape. Sunny Pawar carries the soul of the film with his wide, vibrant eyes radiating dignity and screen presence purely through facial expressions. He is a natural. The second half of the film set in Tasmania thrives mostly in its contrast to India. Here, Dev Patel does very well as a confused young man in search of his roots and his home. Nicole Kidman steals the show with the few scenes in which she embodies motherly love and devotion. This is a must watch. It is not possible for any person to watch this film and not be moved by it!
