Thoughtful and thought provoking

Rating: 8/10 (25 January 2017)

This film presents the dilemma of the adopted child. Did my parents not want me? Did they search for me? Will I upset my adoptive parents if I seek my birth parents? But it also presents more. The grinding poverty in India and the plight of lost children. Why they are lost does not matter - they fall prey to abusers and the system itself creaks and strains to cope.
Of course, these issues will pull on the emotions, but the film never presents situations simply to give an emotion rush. The situations it portrays are real and with is today. They deserve to evoke an emotional response.
The acting is top notch - the writing of the characters and the performances are engaging.
