Amal

I loved this movie...it reeled me in. I think that the movie was a great premise and well executed. I heard the director & lead actor speak and it was fascinating to hear them tell behind the scene stories. the director reports he went to India, not knowing how he would be able to get the experienced actors to work for him...but after 36 hours in New Delhi, the actor that played the father just walked past him (the director) and so he pitched his movie at that moment and this famous Indian actor said he would do the movie. A beautiful picture of joy in a less than joyful world. Interesting filming techniques that evolved through the movie. Great emotional response to ending.

Great Job...hope we see more from the director and actor.

"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 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.

I saw AMAL at the Toronto International Film Festival and was blown away.

Amazing.

What an incredible venture by the cast and crew - kudos to all of them.

The film is filled with beauty and depth and everything that we take for granted.

It's hard to imagine how difficult it was to finish when the product is so polished, so complete.

Everyone I know who saw the film loved it - we're so proud of Richie and the rest of the crew/cast for accomplishing such a feat.

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.
