    • Goofs
      When Balram was narrating the story about Chinese president traveling to India and meeting Manmohan (Ex-PM of India) there was a glimpse of printing INR 2000 currency note. However, INR 2000 denomination came after demonetization in 2016, while the story takes place in early 2010.
    • Quotes

      Balram: Iqbal, that great Muslim poet, was right when he wrote, "The moment you recognize what is beautiful in this world, you stop being a slave.''

    THE CASTE CLIMBER
    This is an excellent, fun yet stunningly tragic, insight into the caste system in India. For anyone never having visited India, they would think this complete fantasy. Yet. It is incredibly real. India is an extraordinary chasm between the haves and the have nots. Don't be fooled thinking it is about wealth and poverty. It is about being a person or a slave. The majority of Indians' lives are destined to be less than human. Slaves.

    This little gem of a movie covers the tragedy through the eyes of a country "mouse". A lovely villager, played superbly by Adash Gourav. A truly memorable performance.

    This is a memorable movie and I highly recommend it to anyone remotely interested in India.
