4.0 out of 5 stars A life affirming movie, 10 Oct 2003
This review is from: City Of Joy [1992] [VHS] (VHS Tape)
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
This review is from: City Of Joy [1992] [VHS] (VHS Tape)
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 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.
