downloaded the movie few weeks back. seen half an hour . thanks for reminding .will see it tonight . first half an hour was fine .
Its good. I liked it. There is a open or somewhat unconventional ending. So not sure if everyone will like that though.
I would like to know from you and others who have seen it what they think of it and what it means.

@Ritz,
I know you like this movie a lot. So If you see this I would like to know your take on the ending and what it means.
Its about unselfish love.
The boy loses everything in the end (his money is also taken – he gives up his savings for her) .
Most beautiful shot was the last scene when in that little moment, the girl and her family is already left. The boy sees her footprint (with shoe) in the mud and blushes – thats the only memory of her with him now. And then…rain starts pouring and washes out that footprint too..
I like these little subtle moments in this truely unselfish love movie.
Like the movie but ending is very sad I thought The Iranian worker get marry at the end.
Rahman is composing music for Majid Majidi’s next.
Some Raza Academy issued a Fatwa against Rahman for composing music for the movie and Rahman basically used their own argument against them.
