Kite cutter

Gattu (2012)

Directed by Rajan Khosa this film stars Mohammad Samad, Naresh Kumar, Jayanta Das and Zoya Arshad. A nine year old orphan lives with his uncle and works at his recycling business but is obsessed with flying kites.

This is your pretty standard coming of age tale and while the setting of a poor region of India is a little unusual there is a fair amount here you will have seen before. What really carries the story is personality of the protagonist but again that is not overly unique. There are some nice kite flying sequences and this is a good watch but nothing much beyond that.


3/5
