Of course this won best picture...

Rating: 7/10 (9 September 2019)

Solid, if sentamental little crowd pleaser that oozes so much exotic both the glamour and squalor that it sort of feels like an Indo-aryan Dickens novel with the same substance (NB I'm not that into Dickens).
Fun enough and realized with vision and professionalism but that doesn't stop it being rather trite and over long.
