As much as I wanted to like the movie it had no depth. It was like following a zombie nowhere. The plot was shallow with pieces just falling on to the screen for no particular reason.

However, in this story of an ambitious Indian entrepreneur and his tale of upward mobility, the satire is so muted that its impact rarely comes through as intended and just seems mean instead. What's more, the film's conclusion comes across more like the midpoint than the end of the protagonist's story, given the long set-up employed in reaching that point.

The movie attempts on taking some dark turns, but it all feels a bit shallow. The resolution feels simply too easy.
Regardless of these little bad critiques, it's a very good movie.
It was very interesting to see how Balram thought about himself and about life in the beginning of the movie and how it changes as he makes darker choices while learning "how the world works"
2 hours well spent.
Beautiful shots, locations and colors. Camera work was just ok, but good enough I guess.… Expand
