This movie gutted me but I am glad I watched it. The film covers child slavery, the effects, and the causes in various parts of India. In the end, there is some hope not just in revolution but in knowledge. Awareness is as always the most important part.

There were some parts that I could not watch because the way the camera moved made me dizzy, but overall, the camera was steady. I think I missed a total of one minute.

It's partly in English and partly with English subtitles because some people from the lower castes do not understand English. But this made it harder for me when I needed to turn on closed captions at points. Turning them off & rewinding a bit worked fine.

I also needed breaks sometimes because of the subject matter, so it took me longer than an hour.

This movie just had so much going on. I think every character had two plots and it was really hard to keep track of them all. A lot of things (including a murder, what some family members will be doing next, and the future of some of the relationships) were left completely under resolved in the end. It was more like the first episode of an "Empire" like drama and a Christmas movie.
