Loved this movie

Really enjoyed this movie. The kids were absolutely amazing. I would adopt all of them if I could. To the person who gave this movie a 1 star and said it was a anti vaccine propaganda movie should be ashamed.

An all round excellent watch.

Excellent watch on all counts. Good cinematography and direction. Thrilling conflict arc. Quality dialogue and acting from all stars, including child stars.

Strongly recommend for viewers.

Excellent movie

This is an excellent movie to watch. It will make you cry, but this is the harsh reality of modern day. It tackles so many social issues. The cinematography is beautiful. The child actor is brilliant. It's good to see films like this that show the harsh realities of life and at the same time educate.

Brilliant movie.

Wish there was more information on net about the child actor.

Would have been better if it was a 90 min movie

A young boy with polio is abandoned by his own family in a deserted drought stricken village which is in the middle of nowhere... this is a story about his struggles and courage .. it also tries to raise awareness about polio in rural areas around Pakistan-Afghanistan border .. it is a heart-rending true story.. this movie was Pakistan's submission to the 90th Academy Awards.. good background score ... based on a true story .. If it was edited and shortened to a 90 min long at the most then it would probably have become a fine work of Pakistani parallel cinema.
