I’ve already watched it. It was ok, from the small Jamal to skinny tall Jamal.
Nice story bit didn’t disappoint me. Visually, parang Pinas esp the Christopher-bollywood-looking guy on the who want a millionaire show, hahaha.
Panis, dapat talagang sa Foreign Film category.
I would still choose Button, and watch it all over again.
