This multi-layered portrait of contemporary India follows a new Dehli auto-rickshaw driver, Amal (Rupinder Nagra) who is content with his small, but vital role in life. But his sense of duty is tested by an eccentric, aging billionaire passenger, who moved by Amal's humility, bequeaths him his entire estate before passing away. With only one month to discover and claim the inheritance, Amal finds himself the target of the old man's upper-caste friends and siblings, all seeking to claim their share of the riches. . Filmed on location in New Delhi, India, Amal serves up a visual feast for audiences. Premiered at the 2007 Toronto Film Festival. In English and Hindi
