This is a great dramatic movie. It is NOT a comedy. The movie was a realistic portrayal of the difficulties that new immigrants face when leaving their homeland. The adjustments and the compromises they have to make for their families is very real. Tabu and Irrfan Khan have real star quality. This story is really about their relationship and their son`s life choices. In the end, it`s about how parents sacrifice for their children to ensure they have opportunities to fulfill their dreams. It was very touching.

I loved this movie, I want to buy it already! It should totally be released in more theatres, it was totally relatable for me since I am a bengali brought up here and it resembled my upbringing, but it was very moving for all audiences. I especially liked the performance by Irfan Khan. And I really liked the storyline and all the characters in general. A very sweet movie.
