I've been reading a book about corruption in India, and it was interesting to see how this movie transformed from a charming anecdote to  harsh reality.

I saw this beautiful little film at the 2015 Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival with an insightful Q&A with director Shrihari Sathe. Born and raised in Mumbai and educated in New York, he's a prolific producer, with this film being his sole feature directing credit. I spoke to him and bought the soundtrack, which he was selling. I handed him a bill for which he didn't have change and I joked, "This is just like the movie."

Anyway, since then I've been looking to see if this movie would get a wider release in the US or be released here on blu-ray or DVD. I've tried finding it online to stream and I've scoured international movie shops and foreign film sections. Yesterday I noticed by chance that it was on Netflix. So, good for them.

The movie which tells you how money can bring more hurdles to your life

Well made monkey paw type tale which examines class divisions, the power of money, and the devastating effects of corruption

Um pequeno conto indiano em formato de filme; narrado quase como uma peça de teatro com enquadramentos poéticos e dramáticos no melhor estilo Central do Brasil; Nota de 1000 Rúpias caminha pelo inevitável drama do povo indiano e sua pobreza explorada ou subjugada pelos ricos e poderosos e corruptos políticos e seus asseclas; igualmente alheios à imoralidade de suas ações. O filme começa bonito e simples. Uma mulher que perdeu seu filho agricultor; que se suicidou depois de não conseguir pagar sua dívida ao agiota; ganha notas de 1000 rúpias de um político durante um discurso em seu vilarejo. www.cinetenisverde.com.br/nota-de-mil-rupias/

Half star extra for “on the point” showcase of  reality in the interiors of rural India.
I have seen khandeshi speaking people very closely and the way they it is directed in the movie is on point.
I really feel “budhi” could have done better. I could see her putting efforts to act, which should have been flawless.

A tear jerker that has great acting and a predicable story line. The details of everyday life of the poor in India are very well captured. It can be read as, perhaps, a prescient movie about the impact of demonetisation of the Rs. 1000 notes in India.

Wow what a shallow film :/ most basic moral story telling ever and dull characters. At least it looked nice?

...മ്മ്‌ടെയൊക്കെ നാടിന്റേം നാട്ടാരുടേം ഒരവസ്ഥ!
കഷ്ട്ടം!
An intense, emotional Indian movie...
