Ok. I lied. The ticket was 15 bucks, and they added 3 dollars for online purchase. I was going to see a movie called Dharm at the same festival. That would have cost $30!

But it does not depict the reality about call centers or outsourced jobs. Outsourced jobs usually land in India's metro cities or cities that have an infrastructure to support the centers. Never seen/heard a call center job outsourced to a village. And as usual it portrays a poverty stricken and un-clean India. You never get to see the high rise state of the art buildings in Mumbai or B'lore or Hyderabad and the 4 lane roads. In most Hollywood movies it always has to be a village and that too in the deep interiors of the country. <i> Welcome to my blog. I agree with you. There were some(many?) cliches in the movie.

Heard that Dharm is a nice one too (of course it has seasoned actors like Supriya Pathak and Pankaj Kapoor). The director has sued IFF because Eklavya has been sent as an Oscar contender. Very nice review AD,
