This first fiction film from Mira Nair (director of Monsoon Wedding) won her the new director`s award at Cannes in 1988. The wrenching story concerns a 10-year-old boy who`s tossed out onto the streets of Bombay to find work. As he tries to earn enough money to return home he finds it`s hard enough just trying to stay alive in this lawless world. Nair hired many Bombay street kids for the film and some scenes have been filmed in an actual brothel.
