Note that this is a classic example of what is known today as "Bollywood", movies made in India about Indians with all Indian cast and crews. It obviously owes a huge debt to Vittorio De Sica's 1946 "Sciuscia" (Shoeshine), with a similar plot, but this apparently is a really excellent movie, and the child actors, who were quite young when the movie was filmed, do an excellent job.
