Boot Polish (2007)
Heart-rending Art House/Bollywood British Short
Boot Polish is a wonderful short film. This is an award winning Indian film and Im sure the British Academy will Award Boot Polish for best short picture.

I am a big fan of Art House Indian Hindi cinema & Bollywood , and I must say that this short movie Boot Polish was very well done.
The film is very good. Awareness to detail is perfect. The Courtesans dance was amazing.
Almost everybody has acted very well. The dancing, music and spectacle in were stunning.
The score and sound track is enthralling. The outfits were gorgeous and so with the sets. Boot Polish is a fantastic attempt by an English director trying to make a Bollywood film its really did engage me emotionally.
There are a few heart-rending moments; the most powerful of which is when the boy returns home with the Roti.
As an Indian woman I understand the symbolism in this film and the director has really done well to understand the needs and the wants for South Asian audience's.
But the film is very sad. So be warned. Well done 10- 10
