  • @bumbumbee1000 hahahahaha

  • this movie was so fuckin gay the actor wasn't even good

  • i saw the director and maker :)

  • i want to see this movie ! it looks nice & sad

  • @ClassicSlayer My teacher is your teacher's friend and she told me to watch this movie hehe

  • lol my name is amal

  • lol.my name is amal

    

  • Great Film, Great Actor - Rupinder Nagra!!!!!!!!!

  • Beautiful movie...and the actress that plays Pooja is gorgeous.

  • Just watched this movie. Wonderful. One wonders why the writer didn't get the money to Amal at the end, but then maybe that's so we think there are many "Amals" out there that need this money... This would motivate us to give charitably and to those who truly deserve to receive.

  • amal means hope in arabic .. few men called amal but alot of girls

  • It seems that in India it's a popular Hindu name. As many Hindus choose this name for their sons, I don't think it has anything to do with the Arabic meaning of it.

  • I'm just talking as any1 else ^_^

  • Oh I know... What I said was only my 2 cents... ;o) I didn't mean to contradict you in any way. :o)

  • amal is a masculine name?? What?...

  • where can you see this film?

  • i think it is a very good movie. the words are deep, and thoughtful. nice movie, nice script.

  • Where i'll find the soundtracks of thz movie....???

  • This is my brother's name

    lol

  • and This is my name lol its a unisex name...

  • The movie shows the true soul of an Indian, i loved the movie. Much better than Slumdog Millionaire which barely has any truth whatsoever.

  • Many of Hollywood movies that portray America are not that accurate either, it's not meant to be and they never claimed it was, it's a feel good movie and human perseverance and love so seriously leave Slumdog out of it, Amal is a great movie bass

  • The trailer looks promising. I am looking forward to seeing this film.

  • Just saw it today, it's an AMAZING movie, you will love it, just the first 10 mins is a bit slow but after that amazing

  • thxx

  • does anyone know the song that is playing during this trailer?

  • i think its by dr. shiva... but i'm having troubles finding it too. haah

  • We are working on a getting a CD out soon with the song, soundtracks and some bonus tracks. I will keep you all posted.

    Thanks everyone!

    Dr. Shiva

  • great movie.... loved it.

  • This movie portrays the deep soul of India. Compared to Slum-Dog, where the main-actor of exclusive private school stuff tried to emulate the more humble spirit of the poorer Indian of the slum, the guy Amal had all the trueness of the authentic Indian soul.

  • this movie blew Slumdog out of the water - what a brilliant movie - loved it loved it loved it. still want to know what is the name of that song the guy sang in the bar - cant get it out of my head - that tabla! aaaaaaaaaah!

  • Does anyone know who's poetry or song was in the movie, the one he sang in the bar.

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you so much for the info, I loved the poetry.

  • Posted by sjspokenword. I dont know why it was marked as spam?

    I was lucky enough to interview the director, and had asked him the same question-- it is a Mir Taqi Mir ghazal, and was sung/composed by Dr. Shiva, who played G.K Jayaram in the short film version of Amal.

    Hope it helps! :)

  • There have been many good..even great Indian films in the past few years.. Before the Rains.. Taare Zaameen Par.. Namesake..and on the lighter side films like Dus Kahaniyaan which are at least trying new formats... BUT THIS MOVIE BLEW THEM ALL OUT OF THE WATER. It was brilliant and beautiful. It was as satisfying as reading a really good book.

  • saw this at in Dallas at AFI. I hope that with the hype around Slumdog Millionaire that we can see a public release of this movie as well. I still prefer this one over Slumdog to tell the truth!

  • argh?!

    my name is amal!

    and im a girl!! :@

  • dont worry.. u'd think ashley's a girl's name only.. but apparently its' a guys name to

    its okay

    shit happens

    we;re all rowing the same boat

  • the same with me i did not knnow that my name is used to male 2

  • the guy who wrote this movie is my teacher!

  • saw it at the movie theather in toronto (and the lead actor & the producer were in the theather too)...beautiful story, highly recommended.

  • Cool.

  • Loved the story. Acting wasn't great but the story is what sold it. Great twist at the end too.

  • vik sahay was amazing in this! same actor who is on Chuck. Amazing versatility.

  • such a fantastic flick! also caight it at TIFF, and i think everyone was pretty taken by it. the acting wasnt perfect, but the story was so enjoyable that it really didnt matter!

  • Saw this at TIFF in 2007, was really very good. Didnt know it was in the Top 10 movies of the year.
