Here comes a movie which most of you wont believe exists. And even if you do, definitely wont believe that it is made by an Indian & most definitely wont believe that most of the film was shot in India!!! Well, to your defense, no one knew.

Wonderful things, sometimes, come in small packages. This package here, delivers a treat for all senses! The visuals (read Cinematography) are astounding breath-stealers, and combined with the music score, gives you goosebumps at many instances. And every other element, be it, the costumes, the props, the dialogues, etc. all add to the sumptuous cuisine that is served.

Tarsem Singh, previously directed J Lo starrer The Cell. Even that movie was appreciated for its stunning visuals, but failed to knock the doors of logic. This time around, the visuals have been taken to the next level, & so is the manner of story-telling and we all know, stories don't need hardcore logic. Yes, the movie has been narrated in terms of a story, intriguingly interweaving the reality & the fantasy. To really experience the movie, all you need to know is that its a Fantasy & then let the movie do the work for you.

The direction is a welcoming surprise. Delighted to know that an Indian can direct such movies. He chooses to make us aware of myriad feelings, with subtlety. The performances, well, the little child actor Catinca Untaru is going to blow you away with her cuteness & at the same time, maturity. As for the adults, little disappointed, i must say. But this disappointment does not play much of an obstacle.

In conclusion, something simple, experienced so ornately.

Upsides: The visuals, the way it interlaces different places of the world to form one canvas for the story. And the little child actor's performance.

Downsides: The acting could've really shot this movie up like anything.

Trivia: The movie has been shot at South Africa, India, United Kingdom, Bali, Fiji, Italy, Spain, Prague, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, China, Romania, Turkey, Egypt, Cambodia. (Phew)

The child actor is the first Romanian kid to have worked in an international film project.

The movie stills shown at the climax are actually stills from Charlie Chaplin & Buster Keaton movies.

Overall, a 4.25/5.0
