The movie seems to have touched a lot of hearts and it is also encouraging that an Indian actor is able to act alongside an actress as great as Dame Judi Dench. The movie has been a surprise hit in USA and it looks like it could do well, it nothing else, people should support them movie because it would mean that audiences like diversity in the movies so that actors like Ali Fazal can get more work in Hollywood movies.
