The Morning Ritual is quite an intriguing piece. Set against the backdrop of Mumbai, it delves into the life of Iqbal Sheikh, a 7-year-old who plays a version of himself. The film captures the stark contrast between the bustling urban life and the personal rituals that ground us. What stands out is this blend of fiction with real challenges—like the new law that disrupts Iqbal's routine due to the encroaching luxury condos. The atmosphere feels raw and authentic, with a pacing that mirrors the tension of change. It's not just about one boy's ritual; it's a reflection on how modernization affects tradition and daily life. The performances are genuine, and Iqbal’s innocence really pulls you into his world. Very distinctive in its approach.
