Finally caught the Oscar winner in a cinema, which makes it my second viewing but this time with a decent screen, sound and sub-titles one could read. It's a charming bittersweet morality tale I suppose with a bit of boy meets girl thrown in. It certainly stood up to a second viewing. I love the scene where the boys steal chapattis from the train carriage. The child actors run away with movie but it was fun throughout. I can see Salman Rushdie's point about the white man's view of India but it's done with such affection and heart that I think we can forgive them.
