They chose to film a former alcoholic and violent husband and his family in their daily lives, interrupted by interviews with the family members, the village chief, and other men in the village. We started at dusk in the rice field, then spent some time with the wife preparing lunch in their straw hut (I couldn't go because the hut was too small, but instead I took a nice nap in the village on a mat), and finally attended a men's self-help group.
Never had I experienced life in the country side so closely. A great experience!

If you have seen Slumdog Millionaire, and are looking for something more realistic and authentic, then go watch Salaam Bombay!
Gritty realism and bold display of issues affecting people is something that is rare in a 1980´s Bollywood motion
picture. Before "Salaam Bombay!" the sordid and dark underbelly of the city had mostly been portrayed in the regular masala manner leaving audiences detached to what was happening onscreen. The
image of Mumbai is realistically portrayed and Mira Nair went to extreme lengths to ensure that the real throb of the city came across, that it did not seem like a caricature. Real-life street
children were cast in important roles, and their acting performance is outstanding! Experience of living the rough life in the city must have helped them, as their performances are
true-to-life. Shafiq
Syed and Hansal Vithal pour their hearts into their performances, giving the film a rare
intensity.
