He's a street photographer at Mumbai's Gateway monument.

That's how boy meets girl in this lovely love story.

If, like the Movie Slut, you're sick of boy-meets-girl-and-they-hop-into-bed stories, which have proliferated in recent years, this flick is for you.

Love grows slowly and steadily in this story. We meet Rafi and Miloni and gradually learn who they are in a deeper way than today's typical love stories allow.

Of course there are problems. It may be modern-day Mumbai, but class distinctions create barriers that are difficult to cross.

Can Miloni and Rafi cross the divide?
