enchanting movie about the lives of children trapped in slums in india , 1998 Cannes Caméra d'Or winner, often referred to as the indian version of "The 400 Blows".
but unlike Jean-Pierre Léaud who would become a breakthrough actor, Shafiq Syed would drive rickshaws to make a living after the movie. This is the antithesis of slumdog millionaire, dreams dont always come true

Anyone interested in checking out a Bollywood film?
I swear I cry everytime I watch this movie. So I don't watch it very often. But if you're a teacher or a parent or ever want to become either, I can't recommend this movie enough.

If you love it or if you don’t, this is a must see. A great work not just to introduce the iranian cinema but to also introduce a different culture and how creators find their ways to create through limitations. Iam absolutely amazed by this short film!!
