Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

batraman87 I never knew a movie like Amu was released way back in 2005. This is one of the finest story writing I have seen in Indian cinema complimented with the exceptional direction. This angle of 84 Sikh riots was very different but still is one of the most important one describing the sentiments of the people who have faced it and those who still bear the burden of it in day to day life without being able to do anything.The story in 2014 is still the same. Communities suffer and the creators of this disturbance roam freely and live freely on the taxpayers money.A must watch movie for those who like intense and near to real cinema.Thanks a lot Shonali Bose. Hats off to you.

Amit Choudhury Amu is definitely one of the best recent Indian films. I can't stop myself admiring the point the way the story has been told. The planning seemed to be very mature. Hats off to Sonali Bose for her outstanding maiden effort with writing, directing and producing such a film that has got voice and certain mark of difference. In short, this is called something doing courageous and different. I still can't believe that it was a director's first film. The last scene where the protagonist character Kajol walks with Kabir on rail lines and a train comes in the scene, was really hard to believe that the train was made stopped and this train scene was out of the script! It was Sonali's distinctive endeavor that made it possible. We are waiting Sonali for more of your such definite challenging works and would like to see your mark in film making. Best of wishes.

Rajika First of all it's a delight to watch such unselfconscious acting and to hear English (and Hindi, Bengali) spoken so naturally. First time director Shobnali Bose elicits wonderful performances from most of her cast - many of whom are 'non-actors'. The script, too, is deliciously funny in parts, which off-sets well with the powerful and serious message underlying the film. The locations chosen capture the actual places represented so that the whole has the verisimilitude of a documentary film, even while the spectator is drawn into the lives of the characters whose stories are being told. All in all a very satisfying film, and a great debut.

voguish21 well made movie - shows the plight of people in so called democratic India. Portrays the suffering of the common man - 23 years on and a community still awaits justice: 20000+ killed in 3 days and not 1 person was found guilty - amazing and stunning. Hopefully someone can also make a movie about the killing of hundreds of Sikh youth in "fake encounters" by Indian govt sponsored terrorism in Punjab, Kashmir, Assam and many other states in India.This movie is not just about the 1984 pogrom of Sikh murders but also to show all the Indian people who chose to ignore this - YOU WILL BE NEXT!!
