Baram satirized more than once that India was "the biggest democracy", and the first time he added what a joke. Obviously the India shown in the film is full of inequality and corruption. Ashok's girlfriend, Pinky, is an Indian American. On the surface, she advocates the values ​​of representing the Americans. She wants to liberate Balam, but she actually hit and run with drunk driving. Later, she was disappointed with the male family and ran back to the United States. Alluding that the West made India a superficial democracy, but in fact it was treated with double standards and left a mess. Baram's passage to Premier Wen expresses India's yearning for the Chinese system. Of course, it is not scientific for him to approach Premier Wen so easily.

    There are many interesting discussions in the film. For example, the good master who received Western education and emphasized equality everywhere was just a hypocritical high-class person at the critical moment. In contrast, the servant's "counter-attack" seems to be too taken for granted. The film spends 2/3 of the length to lay out the Indian society where the strong eat the weak, hoping to establish a solid reason for the turning point of the latter 1/3, but such a rough jungle The law happens to be a typical capitalist devour logic. A good man started from scratch, the poor turned over to be the master, no matter how many reversals create suspense, and the narration is laid out, in the end, there is a feeling of "show me this when you take off your pants".

    Slightly lower than expected, but Indian movies have been good in recent years.
