Movie Haiku:Deceptively simple story about a man searching for his son is actually an indictment of epic corruption in contemporary India. Director Mehta wrote the screenplay with his Indian star (Tailang) & a Canadian script doctor (Maureen Dorey) following the "best of both worlds" formula of SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE. Beyond heart-breaking! NOT YET SEEN BY RICH
