Making a short film is hard work; getting it shown and marketed is even harder! This little film, about a group of Indian kids who set out to raise money for the blind, is charming, and director Aditya Uproor keeps the film humming along and keeps the kids, clearly a group of enthusiastic non-actors, sweet and engaging.
As you watch their earnest escapades, you may well, as I did, remember another group of kids, in Woody Allen's sweetly brilliant RADIO DAYS, as they ostensibly collect funds for the state of Israel from innocent passersby, but with less-than-selfless purpose. Not quite on the level of Woody, but charming nonetheless, and makes us hope for more product from Uproor and co- writer Kripa Kotak. This little film is worth seeking out.
