A Bengali movie with English subtitles, directed by a German! It is set in the Jute mills of West Bengal where children used to be employed and exploited. The struggles of an ambitious Ravi, the protagonist, who saves money to get out of the system, how he realizes his ambitions and how he retains his humane nature in spite of his environment, forms the basis for an epic love story.
The acting is brilliant, the portrayal "international", so all adults should enjoy it. The production is highly optimized and gritty.
Some audiences may find it slow, but I thought it was well paced, the subtitles appropriate for people who know both languages.
A very recommended watch! Grab it on DVD if it doesn't come to a theater near you.
