Drama When a young village boy discovers his brother, long believed to be in UMRIKA (Hindi for America) has actually gone missing, he begins to invent letters on his behalf to save his mother from heartbreak, all the while searching for him. Umrika is a heart-warming look at the mythology and lure of the American dream as well as the plight of the many who seek it illegally.

	Media	Author	Review
		Nikola Grozdanovic IndieWire	"'Umrika' is ultimately a non sequitur story that, at worst, holds no weight, and, at best, makes little sense to someone born outside of Indian values and traditions."
		Dennis Harvey Variety	"A straightforward, ingratiating drama that builds toward a satisfyingly expansive close (...) the pic belies its potentially cliched themes with likable understatement
		Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"The themes are clearer than some of the plot details in this atmospheric story from India."
