Transports you to another world

Hard to imagine the level of poverty many in this world endure as a way of life. This movie shows that side without much sugar-coating. At the same time, that bleakness is juxatposed by the strength and beauty of the human spirit, people unwilling to be broken by their circumstances. Swayze is solid in his role, as is the rest of the cast. I would have given it 5 stars, except that all the Indian characters (many of whom would have very limited literacy based on their socioeconomic level) speaking English, even with each other, made that aspect seem somewhat odd and inauthentic. Yet, that's a minor quibble, overall.
Good by Swayze

I think City of Joy is one of those films you either do or don't connect with. It's a study of growth, of friendship, of acceptance. It's a coming-of-age film. It's a study of how similar humans everywhere are in spite of vast cultural differences. It's a well-shot location piece. It's a character study. It's an action film, in its own way. Patrick Swayze and Om Puri put their hearts into their roles. The supporting cast is interesting and effective. The script has drama and emotional depth.
Patrick Swayze will surprise you.

He's quite good in this movie as a lost man who finds himself in the most unlikeliest of places - Calcutta India.
This movie was besieged by production problems, not the least of which being that two assistent directors were accused of murder (they were innocent). Calcutta turned out to be a less than hospitable place to film.
It tanked at the box office, losing millions.
It's really a shame, because it's actually a very good movie.
Although Swayze is the star, the real story of the film revolves around an Indian family, just struggling to get by. The performances are heartfelt, and the story bittersweet.
A touching film.
