Amal, a multi-layered portrait of contemporary India, follows an auto-rickshaw driver in New Delhi (Amal [played by Rupinder Nagra]) who is content with his small, but vital role in life. One day he drives an eccentric billionaire (G.K. Jayaram [played by Naseeruddin Shah]) who, disguised as a vagabond, is searching the streets for the last morsel of humanity, and someone he can leave all his money to, and [Amal's] life may change forever. Amal serves up a visual feast for audiences. Filmed on location in New Delhi, India, this modern day fable asks the important question of what success means to each individual and ultimately reveals that the poorest of men are sometimes the richest.
