Scores 10 on the tearjerker scale

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2017)

Hugely impressive movie that connects you to your innermost emotions with a simple yet heart-wrenching story. Sunny Pawar definitely deserves a Best Actor award, with Priyanka Bose coming in a close second. Surprised to find that Dev Patel's role was more limited than expected, and also that his stellar performance occasionally lacks expressed emotion. The long wait to go back home is definitely worth it.
