Great to see a movie where everyone's point of view is given equal weight

Rating: 8/10 (17 November 2014)

After a very long time, I saw a movie that does not caricature Indians. In fact, I would rate Million Dollar Arm higher than Slumdog Millionaire in term of depiction of reality as it is. All the characters in the movie are true to life and situation esp. with respect to India have been correctly handled - not over the top and yet very real and believable.
Jon Hamm does a great job as JB whose situation is a tough one with no rights and wrongs. Jon does a commendation job of bringing that out without ever appearing negative. Lake Bell, Alan Arkin and Bill Paxton weighing in with their contribution. Suraj and Madhur are great. I think this is their second outing after Life of Pi and Slumdoor respectively and their restrained acting making it all come alive.
A must watch for all sports fans and to a lesser extent people with a keen interest in India and its social fabric.
