Salaam Bombay

Forbidden to return home until he earned enough to pay for damage he caused, 10-year-old Krishna (Shafiq Syed) left his village and headed to Bombay in search of work. However, a hardscrabble life among the city's street urchins and the disreputable types that exploit them may leave him reaping nothing but regret. At once tender, lighthearted, and shocking, Mira Nair's acclaimed debut feature stars a nonprofessional cast taken from the very locales depicted. 113 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Hindi; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; featurettes; theatrical trailer. In Hindi with English subtitles.
