While we are swamped with choices when it comes to picking up a good movie, oftentimes than not, a good movie with a marvellous script is lost in the sea of ‘masala’ films and blockbusters.

When she decides to seduce him and get closer to him, the reason for her obsession gets clearer. This is also a BAFTA winner so its critically approved.

Don’t confuse this to be a children’s movie. This animated movie is laced with dark themes which tells you a lot about the reality of life and follows a young boy who is shifted to an orphanage after his mother passes away. It is a heart breaking coming-of-age movie which shouldn’t be missed.
