An excellent piece of work

The film shows the hard reality of life through the eyes of an eleven years old boy named jamal. After the sudden marriage of Jamal's childhood friend lakshmi, he began to realize the difficult side of life. When he wants to build his own future, an unpublished past comes out and turns everything upside down.

This film portrays the issues like child marriage, dowry, class discrimination and social evil practices.

I really like the cinematography and the experimental color composition. The natural beauty of rural bangla is successfully portrayed in this film. And not to mention the background music, I was completely lost in scene of jamal and lakshmi running in the field.
