How a poor Indian man came to happiness and wealth, or a socially poignant and disillusioning spin on romantic fairytales like Slumdog Millionaire, which this film is explicitly refers to. It has absolutely nothing to do with classic Bollywood (at least based on my not particularly extensive experience), so if you’re afraid of dancing numbers, there aren’t any. But I have a big problem with the message of the ending, even though it is what actually makes the film different from what the viewer would expect. 7/10
