George Herbert once said "Destiny is always Dark". Having watched this underdog rags-to-raja saga percolates in originality and blistering spirit.The film has a flavor as distinctive as Cinnamon tea.
I see another City of Joy being framed ...........
Its a million rupee winter blockbuster !!
Make an effort to watch .
A sure Oscar contender ....... Even though I am not a big fan of Oscar's !!!
