Salaam Bombay remake

Rating: 3/10 (13 July 2012)

Don't waste your time on this movie.
This is an old, recycled storyline; a poor copy of a much better movie - Salam Bombay (1988) - the real deal which had real street kids as actors.
This movie has gratuitous gross scenes and the plot with the lottery was some desperate fairy tale attempt to appeal to the masses which worked, since it got such great reviews.
A lot of people refer to this as a feel good movie but I refer to it as a poor copy.
It's sad that people have to see a movie like this to feel better about their own country leaving them thinking things are so bad 'over there' when worse human rights abuses happen right here in North America.
