"Salaam Bombay! is the story of Krishna, a 10-year old boy who comes to Bombay dreaming of making 500 rupees to take home to his mother. The film is a marriage of narrative and documentary. The "actors" are all children from the streets and the entire film is shot in working-class neighbourhoods, railway platforms and the red light areas of Mumbai (Bombay). While celebrating the spirit of survival in Mumbai's street children, the film is also a story of a world that denies its children the luxury of childhood, a world which is no longer innocent."

"The story of Krishna, a 10 year-old boy who comes to Bombay dreaming of making 500 rupees to take home to his mother in the village. Once in the city, he is immediately surrounded by its madness and cacophony; policemen, madmen, middlemen, the trading of drugs and flesh, impossible movie fantasies. And everywhere there are children like himself, surviving and succumbing to the appetite of the city. Although carefully scripted, the multi-award winning Salaam Bombay! is a marriage of narrative and documentary. The 'actors' are all children from the streets and the entire film is shot in working-class neighbourhoods, railway platforms and the re-light areas of bombay. While celebrating the spirit of survival in Bombay's streetchildren, Salaam Bombay! is also a story of a world that denies its children the luxury of childhood, a world which is no longer innocent. In Hindi. Subtitles: English."

"Der 10-jährige Krishna, den seine Mutter einem Wanderzirkus überlassen hatte, lebt zusammen mit anderen Strassenkindern in Bombay, Indiens Metropole des Elends. Im Bordellviertel versucht er mit verschiedenen Jobs zu überleben, vegetiert mit anderen Kindern in schmutzigen Hinterhöfen, wird zum Freund eines Drogensüchtigen und einer jungen Prostituierten. Seine Hoffnung, genug Geld zu verdienen, um zu seiner Mutter aufs Land zurückzukehren, geht im Elend der Millionenstadt unter. Dieser Film, mit Laiendarstellern an Originalschauplätzen gedreht, ist eine bewegte Hommage an den Überlebenswillen indischer Strassenkinder, die zwischen Hoffnung und Elend leben. Kinder, die mit ihrem Humor und ihrer Pfiffigkeit gegen eine Welt protestieren, die ihnen das Recht auf die Kindheit verwehrt."
""Abandoned by the travelling fair for which he works, 11 year old Krishna ... finds himself in Bombay.

"This is a sympathetic study of poverty on the streets of Bombay from the point of view of an 11 year old boy who becomes implicated in Bombay's drug trade and prostitution. In the light of the film's success in Western art cinemas a recent critique has raised questions about Salaam Bombay's implied eurocentrism which presents third world urban poverty as 'other' so feeding western misconceptions. Paradoxically this arises from the failure of the filmmakers to address the nuances of cultural superficiality and hence the complex social and political conditions. Bombay is by implication presented as interchangeable with any Third world city thus setting up a rigid opposition between Third World poverty and the First World when in reality there is an interdependent network of exploitation involving the drug trade, the commodification of women and the First World's own urban crisis."

"The story of Krishna, Manju, Chillum and the other children on the streets of Bombay. Sometimes they can get a temporary job sellng tea, but mostly they have to beg for money and keep out of the way of the police. One night while returning home, he and several of his friends are apprehended by the police, and taken to a juvenile home. But this detention was not to last very long, as Krishna escapes, and goes back to his world - the world of drug-pushers, pimps, prostitutes, and nurture his dream of someday going back to his mother."
"ENG:Five hundred rupees might as well be five million when you're 10 years old and alone on the streets of Bombay. Deserted first by his mother, and then by the circus to which she left him, Krishna tries everything from selling tea to plucking chickens in order to earn his way back home. But the appetites of city life are costly and dangerous, appetites to which Krishna's new "family" of drug addicts, pimps, prostitutes and thieves succumb daily. The lessons he learns are ones of survival and loyalty, acceptance and rejection, affection and revenge. 1988 Academy Award nominee SALAAM BOMBAY! combines raw power with dramatic impact to celebrate the spirit of survival, humor dignity and courage in Bombay's streetchildren, while it exposes the universally shocking world of poor children whose homes are the gutters of every great city. In Hindi with English subtitles."
