## Transcript

I think they've shown the real fact, what it is. Some parts, you know, other movies they show the really the good side of India but not the side which is, maybe you can say, the real India or the poor people. But

>> in this movie they've shown the, specially concerning on the part which is from dark side. So I think it's a very good movie.

>> It's a combination of, you know, people are saying-- people have been saying that it's not good to show India's poverty on, you know, the big screen and anything else and. But I don't think like that way and I think it's a very fine movie. It's a combination of struggles of a minority boy in India. And the way the picture has been showcased, it's wonderful,

>> it's beautiful, it's a much watch.

>> The movie is awesome. That's it. That's it.

>> Think the people are pretty intelligent about all these stuff, so it won't create too many falsehood because people actually know where the status of things are. So it doesn't actually matter if a movie depicted bad or good because peoples will still find all actually was true. So, that's what I think.

>> You see, maybe they've gone a little too strong on the,

>> you know, kids, the way they've been brought up in India, it's really not that bad, really not that bad. They've just gone to the beast level which is not really true but then if you're coming to watch a movie, you have to put this aside and enjoy the movie for what it is. Do you think? That's the whole issue here.
