Best adaptation of 'Oliver Twist' into film

This is easily one of the best adaptation of a book into a movie. It is as good as the book, if not better.

If you loved the book, you'll fall in love with this movie too. And it's simply 'unputdownable' just like the original book. And considering this is a bollywood movie we are talking about, that's some achievement!

The casting of all characters is perfect especially of Jeevan as Fagin and Sachin as Oliver Twist.

The only little grouse you'd probably have with the film would be the music which is not particularly 'melodious'

And they have made the necessary modifications to the story to adapt it to India situations and also sort of 'upped the ante' in the plot which works out quite well in the end.

All in all, a beautifully crafted, heart-wrenching, emotionally satisfying film.
