Amal

A simple but solid story on the character. A great story with thought provoking message. A person who don't take tips of Rs 3/-, what will happen and how does he spends 300 million gift by an unknown person.

I loved the story & star cast except that it can seem slow at times & Nasseruddin Shah's death was too early in the story. Also the accent of the main protagonist AMAL was little off & acting of some side characters is little off too. But all n all a good watch, if you patience.

"Amal" is a Drama movie in which we watch a poor auto-rickshaw driver in India who, through an unexpected encounter, finds himself in the middle of a life-altering situation.

I found this movie very interesting, emotional and powerful in some moments. Despite that its plot was simple it presented and combined dramatic moments with some powerful changes that occur in Amal's life. The interpretation of Rupinder Nagra who played as Amal was amazing. The supporting characters, though meaningful, could have been more fleshed out to deepen the emotional impact, something that could add a deeper meaning in the movie. Furthermore, this movie might seem predictable in some moments but it will surprise you. Finally, I have to say that "Amal" is an emotional drama movie with a simple but powerful story from which everybody can learn something thus, I highly recommend everyone to watch it.

I saw this film during an Air Canada flight (thanks to their private screens for every seat). My favorite films are always the ones without special effects. Simple story and great actors make a good film and Amal is very very good for all who appreciate this type of movie. I saw a short version and the long one which was much better since it lets you know more about Amal, the main character. Thank you for the magical moment when the old man sings the poetic song in the restaurant, very moving. It almost goes too far preaching about the goodness of being poor, and the greed of the rich. But the cinematography, the music and the location help me enjoy every minute of it.

As I watched Amal, I thought "This is two films which won't please Indians because both present the beggar child as working for some slumlord."I fully expected rags to riches would win out as in Slumdog; but no, something special and unexpected here. Amal is a lovely film, rich photography, wonderful subtle acting, suspense, love, moral values,great yarn. A rich hotelier, disillusioned by morals of family,colleagues and other service providers goes vagabond in search of the 'honest person" The one he finds is a humble autorickshaw driver. His decision to endow Amal upon his death leads to a great story.
