Review of Salaam Bombay! (1988) by Chris S — 03 Nov 2008

This deeply depressing and heartwrenching film is about a boy's struggles in the streets, liking for a young lady sold to a brothel by her heartless father, and wanting to go back home. The boy hangs around with other homeless children doing either small or illegal jobs, drug addicts, and prostitutes.

And his life turns for the worse when he is fired from his job and the money he saved and worked hard for has been stolen.
