I thought the film was amazing because even though it was an obvious type of story its not patronizing and its also emotive. Yousaf Ali Khan tells the story in away that rather than feeling resentment towards Romo we actually feel sympathy for him because at the end we see he is actually traumatized and we realise its more than him trying to fitting in. I personally thought the shots of him looking in the mirror and patting down his hair shows him to self conscious and also it shows the inner fight with his heritage because his hair is the only thing that could possible give him off.
Khan also kept us intrigued because he sometimes made us feel that romo was about to get found out and he add to this not just with dialogue but also with the camera shots for example in the pub with his uneasy work mate ask him if he has Asian in him khan makes fast cuts of people laughing and it is played louder which makes us a bit nervous for him. The pov shots with the 3 three men saying racist things also makes us feel apart of the film and very easy as if they were calling us it and makes us feel for romo and see his situation isn't just black and white.
The last shot was also very effective because when he smashes the mirror you see his sister with the cake in her hand, whilst he is lighter shes is darker and could never get away with what romo is doing, so we feel sympathy because we can imagine who it would feel to see your own brother being shamed of what him and you. The shots with the bullies in the bathroom with him makes the ending very intense and the quick cuts also add to it. The lighting in the film also makes it very hard heating because its dark and gritty.
The films has a very strong script and manages to go in depth into his problem without having unnecessary scenes
