Young Krishna has been unlucky enough to lose two homes by the age of eleven – he was sent off to earn money by his mother, and the circus he working for moved on without him. But he finds some kind of community among the other street kids in Bombay (now called Mumbai), with both good times and tragedy occurring amid the incredibly tough circumstances of their lives. Salaam Bombay! is a drama, not a documentary, but it has a gripping sense of reality, and most of the actors in it were homeless kids from Bombay.
