I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Very well executed

Absolutely Fantastic

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

A very apt representation of desperate independent India welcoming a greedy western pesticide conglomerate who's only aim was monopoly over the pesticide sector in developing India. All this, at the cost of the health of the people who reside in the vicinity of the city of Bhopal. Some sleek character representation without any over the top character portrayals make this a very canny depiction of this infamous event in modern India. Martin Sheen does a very good job at being a self-centered yet cunning CEO who wants Union Carbide to prosper even if its at the cost of the lives of the residents. Kal Penn is on point in playing the role of the only journalist who is audacious enough to raise his voice against the misdemeanor the factory was posing on the people. Rajpal Yadav for me steals the show for picturing a shrewd illiterate worker who wants to earn the livelihood of his family and help his sister get married which was troublesome in those days due to dowry demands. Mischa barton, playing the role of Eva Gascon is an audacious reporter from the Paris match who comes for some other trivial reason but is baffled knowing what was going on in the city. The perception of the authorities has been highlighted well and there have been subtle references to how the west found the third world poverty driven countries like India to be a mere supplier of unqualified masses.With a good score and well executed climax a very highly recommended movie that gives a good insight on the flaws of industrial revolution and how it affected the developing nations.

9 of 10. It's definitely a serious subject, but the characters and actors provide enough levity, affection, and humanity to make it far more than a documentary of tragedy. Based on actual history if not a specific true story, this creates a virtual reality for you to step into and experience what it would have been to live in Bhopal, India with the Union Carbide plant.The story is smoothly told with minimal imposed/artificial melodrama or cliché. It's a film that could have benefited from another 5 minutes to provide more context and follow-up history without resorting to putting it in words on the screen before the end credits roll.It's also a learning experience into the chemicals behind the production of pesticides and how corporations deal with safety issues and operations losing money. Worth seeing in a theater or studying closely from within a classroom.

This documentary drama is about something everyone should know about and make sure the human race should not repeat. What happened 30 years ago should have never happened and it is truly sad this film is based on this true story. Bhopal: A Prayer For Rain is not only a reminder of what happened, but a story we must remember, so we do not repeat it.This film is a documentary, but is also a story and a drama. There is no comedic relief. There is strong messages and lessons to be learned.The story begins when a multinational company, Union Carbide India opens a chemical factory which contains the number one most dangerous chemical to humans in the world. The company responsible for the factory is sadly not making much money and, as a result, they cut their safety regulations. This does not end up as a good idea for, in 1984, the factory had a major leak and the deadly chemical called MIC quickly shot into the air, and into the surrounding air which covered a major town called Bhopal. Thousands die while hundreds of thousands are injured and even today, 30 years later, are still ill. This film truly shows this event well and shows how many people were effected by it and what the company who caused it did to help the victims. Nothing. Warren Anderson (Martin Sheen) not only doesn't help them, but the India court accuses him of mass murder and the "corporate shield" protects him so he is not affected whatsoever. Martin Sheen plays this role with true conviction.This film is an incredibly sad story, I cannot choose a favorite scene. My least favorite is when the accident comes to the attention to Warren for the first time. Anyone would expect that he would be in shock or cry or just try to help them. What he does is blame the workers because he gave them an opportunity and they "ruined it." Then, he flees the country when he sees all the dead bodies and is accused of mass murder. I do not like this scene for I believe he should have at the least go to jail for the rest of his life.This film is very mature so I recommend it for ages 13 to 18. I also give it 5 out of 5 stars for they did a wonderful job retelling this horrid event. This film is playing in select theaters now and is available for digital downloads and streaming.Reviewed by Gerry O., KIDS FIRST! Film Critic. For more reviews by youth, go to kidsfirst dot org.

Last night we went to a free screening of a film titled "Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain" written and directed by Ravi Kumar, whom I expect to become quite a well known name in the next decade or two because this movie demonstrates a natural gift for the art of visual storytelling. I did not expect to like this movie. We went because we were invited by potential investors for my husband's project (Cerebus). It was in San Francisco. I did not know the subject matter of the film until I looked up the title as we drove south on Highway 101. (It was a gorgeous drive through rolling green hills dressed in mist and dusk. I love Napa Valley!) I have to say I was disappointed when I discovered that "A Prayer for Rain" was related to the 1984 poison gas disaster in Bhopal that was caused by Union Carbide, a chemical factory that was built in the middle of nowhere, but after ten years, a community had grown around it. My expectation was a heavy-handed, melodramatic Bollywood type of amateurish first attempt, more on the documentary side, and certainly boring. Of course I felt a little guilty for being so disinterested in the story beneath the tragic headline.I was completely surprised! Ravi Kumar wrote and directed a beautiful movie! Yes, the subject matter was catastrophic and real people by the thousands were killed and tormented by the deceivers who created and managed the plant, nonetheless it was an engaging, good-humored, balanced revelation told in a way that is universal. It is a movie I will recommend to others because it is a good movie. From the editing, soundtrack, direction, casting and performances, it is a world class film. I was more than a little impressed. This film moved, enlightened, and entertained me all at the same time, and that, my friends, is exactly the way it should be when telling a true tale of such importance.
