A movie to watch out for, full with excellent performnces. I must say, A Gem among the Jewels,the directors' efforts are really laudable, definitley a critics choice. One really can't control his emotions for the nation after watching this movie. The director has not put a single step wrong in this movie. perfect debut for him. It shows the reality to the family members of those beleagured pows who are languishing in different jails in pakistan, that there is no way out, they are just hoping against the hope. The director has rightfully passed on his message to the Indian authorities who has not taken care of their forgotten heroes, has not done sufficient to get them back into our motherland.My salute to the POWs.Thanks.We are proud of you. we are sorry that we were not able to do anything for you.
What I liked about the movie:
everything, be it the performaces, sequences, direction,screenplay, background flicks(subedar ahmed) & music,it is a masterpiece, a must watch for every Indian, every cine-goer. A movie which explains what is the importance of a nation is, be it for an Indian or a Pakistani. Well made movie.
What I didn't like about the movie:
I would have liked this movie to be a best-seller, but it came a wrong time, exams & world-cup.
Would you recommend this movie to your friend: Yes
