Salaam Bombay (1988) (award winning Indian movie)



We fixed the generally and universally relatively poor quality English subtitles for this movie as well, as a couple of others
along the way we found on the net in order to provide you with
a much better and certainly superior version than any other
we found at the time of this posting.

The theme of this movie is best summed up by a man who, while
riding in a Police wagon (completely corrupt at times it would
seem from this movie version equally too) in this movie towards
the end, says to fellow prisoners who were picked up with no
reasonable cause whatever, that he hoped "some day, India will
be a better place than this".

The devastation caused by poverty over time, religious strife
and superstition inflicted on all too many that would have been innocent to vent against in this regard, the cruelty of seeming injustices that go on historically due to a lack of a better consensus it would appear (or the will too perhaps) to rein in
such behaviours - all this shows a country in sad shape for those
in the situations depicted in this decades old movie - nevertheless
suggesting a persistent situation without relent possibly to the
end.

This sorta movie is in no manner a favourite movie of mine at all,
however it is useful for the purposes of being enlightened on the state of affairs that might just be persisting on our planet so
all can become aware of the global implications of the problems
depicted and indicated.
