Salaam Bombay!

Synopsis

Abandoned by a travelling circus, a ten-year-old street boy named Krishna arrives alone at Bombay's Victoria Terminus railway station with empty pockets, earning fifty rupees a week as a 'chaipau' tea-delivery boy for a brothel in the Kamathipura red-light district, saving every rupee to return to his mother in his rural village while navigating drug pushers, brothel madams, and child-welfare raids. Mira Nair and Sooni Taraporevala's Cannes Caméra d'Or and Audience Award-winning and Oscar-nominated tour-de-force starring real-life street children led by Shafiq Syed.
