its a valid gripe no matter the intentions of the film.

but the way it was portrayed seemed like the movie was going for a realistic approach here- given the rest of the story, their depiction of India.

if it was a happy go lucky fairytale story - would they have tortured the kid.

this is the same board comparing this to City of God- would you say thats not a realistic movie?

i still think its a very good, and technically great, but you just have to go with it.
