The Illegal

Cant stop thinking about the ending... how much I related to this film. We have all been there.... this is very real and gritty ... I hope everyone gets a chance to watch this one. 5 stars

This film is about the struggles and challenges faced by overseas workers during their struggle to establish themselves abroad. The story is harsh and real. There are a lot of people who sacrifice a major chunk of their lives to bring some happiness, or even basic necessities to their families. Moving to a totally different country and surviving there is not so easy as regular bollywood movies show.

This is a beautiful movie,well directed and fabulous acting. It gets you so involved in the life of the protagonist that you can actually feel his pain. In India we think that those who have gone abroad are having a great time but this movie shows you that it's not all a bed of roses,shows you the other side of the life there. I loved the movie.

A poignant film which touches your heart.. Hassan's journey stays with you. Loved Suraj and Iqbal. Very relatable and relevant.

A tale of an illegal Restaurant worker who lands in LA to study filmmaking and then lands up being just a little fellow with big ambitions and even bigger problems.

With great subtlety they have shown Jama Masjid, Delhi and my goodness such realistic frames of Jama Masjid I have never seen.

It takes a courageous man to follow a dream and a wise man knows when to walk away from it.

Magical sombre music integration makes the movie more enjoyable.

Adil Hussain, Neelima Azim, Suraj Sharma Sweta Tripathi and all others do a good job. But Iqbal Theba steals the show. Jay Ali does good too.

Directed by Danish Renzu.

Hope deferred can make a man sick, it can even kill.

The past, future and the vicious cycle. Every face even though looking same has a different story.

Ghar Kab jaoge Babaji... Hits hard. A worthy watch. Slightly touching, slightly grounded and absorbed in reality. Available on Amazon Prime Video.
