The Lift Boy

One of the best illustration of how people with good intentions and no expectations can help build a better society.

A simple tale. A simple cast.

This isn't going to do much for your cinematic experience if you watch this hoping for deep meanings, a mature cast and innovative camera work. What this movie gives you is an easy everyday look see into its very basic characters. It works on a very primal level. It isn't going to win Oscars, it isn't going to be something you tell your friends about but on a quiet Sunday afternoon, it will mean something to you - accompany this with a nice cup of tea.

It's not a common coming of age movie we all know about. It's a tale of everything such affection, love and bonding. I give director full marks for his vision but i think direction might be better in places but we can ignore that little flaws. Netflix once again provides a winner.

The boy who plays raju i can relate to him. He has a bright future. Mrs D'Souza is fantastic in this movie. Shawn also good. But i was looking forward to the relations between princess and raju. Some plots are half baked but i can overlook these.

Thank you Netflix for this beautiful heartwarming movie to go through this tough lockdown days. Thank you Augustine.

The film has an extremely basic principle yet works perfectly. Gets the emotions spot on and the relationships are done wonderfully. The film was probably 20-30mins longer than needed given how basic the basis of the film was but good enough not to drag to badly.

After some time, I feel relaxed watching a satisfying story, a story of a boy trying to clear a drawing subject of his engineering, how stumbles upon a Temporary job of a lift boy! The lift boy is about hope, efforts and success! A very sweet and simple story which with its nicely selected character roles makes it memorable!
