Featured review
Watchable.
An average drama of M. Night Shyamalan right before his most successful film. The film revolves around a 10 year old in search of God. Though some interesting parts are there, the film as a whole is little boring. It was a goosebumps moment to see the name of Indian cinematographer Madhu Ambat in the end credits.
