This movie wasn't great but was delightful, simple, beautiful and Dhanush was lovable as he was in Raanjhanaa. Some reviewers wrote that movie wasn't a true depiction of India or refugees, but was it meant to be so?
It was kind of fairy tale story with simplistic treatment which might not be enough for some but i myself found this one soothing my heart and inner self.

Was that a true story?, asked the Policemen. Only the important parts was the reply by Dhanush.
Dont read a book expecting the movie to be the same!!!
Since others here have said it, this delightful!! movie may not be a 100% representation of the book. I don't know, I don't read French and apparently this was a French book of some repute. So? Charlton Heston in the Ten Commandments certainly did not portray that book (lol) 100% accurately. Yet, a lot of people for decades have enjoyed that movie. No, this isn't on par, but, this was a very nice movie, with no parts that were NSFW. And today, that is something different. Watch it. For just easy entertainment value, 10 out of 10. As a movie overall, 8 out of 10.
Dhanush carries the whole movie
One of the travel-based movies. A film with a nice/needed message for Indian kids living below poverty. Dhanush's performance was as usual exceptional. The story was good enough but there could've been some twists&turns in the screenplay to keep the audiences engaged.
