So, 'Paisa' is this gritty little gem from 2016 that dives into the underbelly of life in India. A rag picker finds himself in over his head after stumbling onto a pile of cash. It's got this raw, unpolished vibe that really captures the daily grind of its characters. The pacing is interesting; at times it feels slow, but I think that really serves to build tension. The performances are pretty solid, especially from the lead, who embodies that struggle between aspiration and desperation. There's a certain atmosphere that hangs over the whole film, a mixture of hope and despair that's hard to ignore. Not flashy, but it leaves an impression, you know?
