Title: Antidote to shallowness about India
Review: This is a brilliantly made, tightly scripted but deeply real movie about rural India. It does not glamorize either town or countryside - unlike the unbelievable atrocity and unbelievable glamor of Slumdog Millionaire. It presents actors looking much as real people look - literally warts and all.The only thing missing are swarms of flies - I was struck by the fact that the village yards had no flies I could see.It sends up the professional NGO activists, newsmedia and politicians alike.It is dark but very funny if you can ignore the underlying grimness. I would compare it to a British film like 'Four Lions' in that regard.
Is the review positive or negative?
