Rihaan Patel has selected a nice topic on child labour. Excellent!!! this is an eye opening for us.

Dharini Shah -- October 1st, 2009 at 1:56 am

It is a matter of sorrow that we are snatching away the joy of childhood. We shold put a full stop to the practice of searching chip labour.
We should give every opportunity to child for the growth.

Jitendra N. Shah -- October 1st, 2009 at 2:01 am

Stop Child Labour immediately otherwise we shall not be able to give Gandhi,Nehru,Dr.Abdul Kalam or a Newton.Live and let others live like you.

Nice Films & Good Work Best of Luck friend

Sam -- June 16th, 2010 at 3:15 pm

There is a good message behind the film, it would have been better if the girl looked more shabby then it would be somewhat like ’slumdog millionaire’. Anyways, the concept is good, thats all that counts.

Arindam Mojumder -- July 13th, 2010 at 1:13 am

The dress code of the child didn’t suit with her role.Only sentiment is not enough to show the child labor problem, but have to a strong script. Your subject is good but presentation is too weak. Camera angel was not so good. You didn’t take any closeup shot which was very necessary.

But still I will appreciate your talent and thinking. Best of luck for your next project.

shine -- July 16th, 2010 at 8:08 am

Very poignant. Well done. “The best index to a person’s character is how they treat people who can’t do them any good, and how they treat hose who can’t fight back.”

Aqib -- October 22nd, 2010 at 12:54 pm

Wow! very gud concept.keep it up guys.

Mk -- November 2nd, 2010 at 11:21 am

Concept was gud.
bt i ws nt happy wit the work.
1. image stabilizer ws nt on i think while shooting, cz of it the video ws distorting, jiggling as any jurk occur while shooting.
2. their ws not colour correction, all footage ws looking different in tone
3. tv picture ws nt tracked and changed from software
4. camera angle ws gud but in some shot camera moves 1st and then character link ws missing between character and camera
5. though their ws no dialogue all ws expressed by action but action ws not so effective

i m sorry bt i m nt happy wit it if v compare to quality part, the story was gud

Delia Miranda -- November 3rd, 2010 at 3:39 pm

This film touched my heart and I wish you all the best in this field, you have an eye for it just keep doing and you have my vote.

Thank you

Joanne -- November 6th, 2010 at 9:41 pm

I felt this was the best of the three choices- but without the description of the story I would have not known she was an orphan- I would have thought she was like Cinderella, with a cruel parent.
