Ramchand Pakistani Meet Ramchand, an 8-year-old Pakistani kid with the biggest, saddest eyes you've ever seen. When the cheeky rascal skips school and wanders across the Indian border, his father hurries to retrieve him—only to be stopped by Indian soldiers, who conclude both father and son are spies and lock them away in an overcrowded jail. This brightly colored, broadly acted film isn't a Bollywood musical, but sometimes I wondered whether its story of relentless oppression (did I mention little Ramchand is an untouchable?) couldn't have been jazzed up with a jailhouse dance number or two. (Director Mehreen Jabbar scheduled to attend.) By Annie Wagner
