4.0 out of 5 stars A life affirming movie, 10 Oct 2003
Once in a while a film comes along that has the power to change your mind about certain pre-conceived ideas. This is one such film. City of Joy never shys away from the power of its message and its graphic picture of life in a poor part of a large and spralling Indian city. Yes, at times it can be a little hard to swallow - the big American doctor (Patrick Swayze) waltzing onto the scene - but its not over sickly sweet and you come away feeling that you have been taught a valuable lesson. That life is for living, not for spectating and you must live each moment and treasure each experience; savour it. You never know when it can be taken from you.

5.0 out of 5 stars This film has a fantastic storyline aswell as great acting., 14 Jan 2001
By A Customer
Patrick Swayze and Pauline Collins feature in this story of a doctor who cannot save a young girl so he goes to India for a new experience. Here Patrick Swayze meets Pauline Collins a nurse and finds himself working in her small treatment clinic. This film shows you what it is like to live in a third world country, it shows you how people live in fear and hope and the journey of a group of characters which is heart warming and brilliant to watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars great acting by om puri, 9 April 2009
By Shiv Sharma "shiv" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: City of Joy [DVD] [1992] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
This movie has been beautifully adapted from the novel of the same name by french author dominique lapierre. Om puri has superbly portrayed the role of a rickshaw puller. It is shocking to see that the rickshaw pullers run bare footed on a tar road, while pulling the rickshaw loaded with a passenger. They have to navigate through the heavy traffic of the city.
