| User ReviewAmit ABrilliant and exceptional movie.......beautifully shot and captured the landscape of Kashmir....and the symbolism hits one hard...I realised what the hero of the cast 'the donkey' represented after an innocent chatter between two kids late into the movie |
| User ReviewGagandeep BThe only film that I was able to see at London Film Festival. The little boy's struggle to get back his donkey in the background of the Kashmir problem is witty and touching. The Kashmiri landscape is beautiful. Way to go, Santosh Sivan (Also checkout his debut film Halo [1996]). Superb - a must see! |
| User ReviewSarah Cit is with dramatic act and plot, but i like it in this movie. sometimes dramatic can be old style but in this movie it make the characters more lively, and at the end...it moved me! that cause and effect in a miracle day! I was so into the character that i didn't want to imagine what if the grenade explode and...it was tense and the director did a good job about it. Kashmir is one of the most beautiful place I've been to. |
| User ReviewKaushik Valthough it's just the simple old kinds story, it's still a very touching film. and the little boy is so cute~ |
| User ReviewPranav Ksweet and refreshing movie that captures the precious bond between a boy and his pet. One learns that in such a tumultuous and harsh environment, one can find meaning in life and live in harmony when trusting others and acting on the basis of love. (woah, that's deep!) The kid is mindblowing!! The donkey's pretty kick-ass too (lol, pun intended). |
| User ReviewLohita PBeautiful. Everything is just beautiful about this film. |
| User ReviewSebastian DPraise Almighty for this wonderful storyline.. I'm totally impressed with the acting of this kid who played very well.. Movies played by children are usually full of comedy but this movie really open a deeper view of life; |
| User ReviewWaseem BCute story about this little naive'man' who'll do anything to get back his donkey. great cinematography. |
| User ReviewUjjwal JDecent. Cute, too. But nothing special as well. Some funny moments, a bit of drama, a rather happy end.... A good film to watch on DVD rental :) |
