Before Monsoon Wedding

This was apparently Nair's first drama feature, having previously been a documentary film maker. It shows, in the best way. The film is (for me) quite reminiscent of Ken Loach's work, as is the way that Nair worked with actual street kids. Not the feel-good fest that is Monsoon Wedding, but well worth watching.
Goes under the skin...
