Two childhood friends from different walks of life face the same challenges of discrimination. Determined to change their fate, they set out in search of a better life.

Based on a true story, this is a profound and touching film. A straightforward tale about two best friends trying to change their circumstances, but the overlay of the discrimination certain groups face in India makes it unique. Having prior knowledge of the Indian caste system and Hindu-Muslim relations will provide a better context for the story, but it is not necessary. The one hour and fifty-nine minute runtime is a slow burn, as the story and drama unfold, accompanied by a sprinkling of romance and comedy. An excellent and unique watch, but the right mindset is required to fully appreciate it.
