Foreign Movie Review: SIDDHARTH (2013) A


An excellent movie about the poorer people in India. The story involves an impoverished street merchant, Mahendra Saini, who sends his 12-year -old son away to work in a factory and then launches a search for the boy . . . when he doesn't return on the expected date. But Mahendra has no money and no picture of his child, hampering the hunt.

My guess is that the movie was primarily made as a message for the people in India who send their children to work rather than allow them to attend free schools provided by the government.  

The acting and cinematography was excellent. After watching it you will better understand how people live in that part of the world.  The only thing that was missing were the smells in the streets and of the people.
