This film , and no i havnt seen it, seems to be very much Boyles M.O.
 
He takes a long look at Edinburghs underbelly in Trainspotting, post  
industrial sheffied in Full Monty, and now this indian slum. All the films  feature 
ppl  ' jackpotting '  themselves out of poverty (only they  dont, a random drug 
deal, a nights stripping and a quiz show arnt really  something for the 
public to really get their teeth into by any strech) I imagine  hes trying to be a 
good liberal, but really hes more of a weird capitalist  apologist. He may as 
well have someone rub a lamp and mug the genie.
 
I cant insult the ending, i remember the greatness that was ' Sinnerman '  at 
the end of Inland Empire.
