    A Masterpiece

    This movie is a masterpiece, beautifully telling the story of a young man and his struggle with adversity. I would watch it again and again, highly recommended if you like emotional thrillers, many props to the cinematographers for their work in this movie and capturing the raw emotion of this story. Suitable for families and people of all backgrounds

    A delightful watch

    A very enjoyable film to watch. The fact that it is a true story makes it all the more powerful. Certainly makes one think about nationality and people's rights

    A real feel good movie....!

    Outstanding Gerard Depardieu, beautiful country side in Bangla Desh and terrible circumstances for people without a future

    The projection of the story failed to reflect the story

    The projection of the story failed to reflect the story, very poor casting and storyline for the country of origin of the character on the part of Bangladesh (It seems more indian casting and location than Bangladesh and also some very unnecessary seen in the first 5 mins). The acting part of Mizanur Rahman was exceptional. How ever the part of the french was very nicely presented and also the characters was very natural. Even after liking the film Its hard to accept a very nice project and team to have the part rather than India with the indian casting and some very irrelevant 3 mins in the starting to project.
