Director Richie Mehta’s film “Amal” nails teaching its viewers the lesson with which it begins: “The poorest of men can be the richest.” It is a hard lesson to learn, indeed, but Mehta makes sure you take it home with you.

“Amal” is a poor rickshaw driver in India who one day drives a cranky old man to a seemingly-pointless destination. It turns out the man is a millionaire looking for a good person. It also happens that the old man happened to be on the eve of his death during the ride. He writes a new will hours before dying, leaving his money to “Amal” and not his partner or questionable children.

The film is subtitled (although there is some English), but don’t let that deter you from seeing it. Unlike Bollywood films, there is only one song in “Amal,” but it is beautiful; I watched it at least three times to fully grasp its meaning.

This emotional, moral and well-crafted film is one that should not be passed over. Go see it. You’ll come home with a lesson you didn’t know you wanted to learn.
