Truly incredible film! It's extremely well told, well shot, funny, emotional, shocking, and exceptionally thoughtful. I was thoroughly impressed. It's honestly rare that a film today is captivating and worth recommending, but this is one of them.
It's deeply concerning how corrupt the prison system is in India. It's hard to appreciate the magnitude of how messed up the environment is with overpacked prison cells, disgusting facilities, and nightmarish sleeping arrangements. Even despite this difficult imagery, the director, writers, and cinematographers did a masterful job at making the story actually light, fun to watch, and heartwarming moments and characters.
To balance these emotions in the viewer is a near impossible tightrope to walk on, but somehow they pulled it off. Beautiful work. The best prison film since Shawshank Redemption.
