This would have been an awesome indie flick if it wasn't for the extremely cheesy Bollywoodish finale ...! Having said that the offbeat story, the amazing performances from both the kids and the colors of Rajistan made it a great watch ...

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

A well directed emotional story of poverty, struggle and lost innocence which is unfortunately a reality for thousands of children across our country. Has an inspirational ending but not before making your eyes wet a few times. Great Film.
