      Audience Member Ok not good or great. Watch it if u wanna see some child run and run and run and run and also in the middle of the movie he also runs......runs .......and you guessed it....RUN! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member A good story with a lot of injustice, mostly from the Child Welfare, who obviously not concerend about children's welfare, they just didnt want one man to be at top of the social ladder. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Triste e trágica história de Budhia, sob o olhar aprofundado de Atwal. Reviravoltas de deixar os melhores roteiristas no chinelo. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best documentary of 2010 hands down.Absolutely fascinating and nicely crafted.It merge us into a reality which sometimes give the incredible impression of an amazing thriller .In the countries of God and goddess nothing could be more meaningful.The depiction of India is amazing. It is more than recommended. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member all the mystery and drama of a feature film, all the poignancy and complication of a documentary. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member To say this is the story of on little boy & his coach would be a vast understatement. Felt it could have done with greater conclusion at very end. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
