1 of 1 people found this review helpful Hope and a little sugar is a short and sweet story told well. The characters are charming and their treatment is thought out. But yet, there is this weird gap left by unexplained and super-quick transformations in characters and situations.

Hope... is a film that almost balances these two extremes in the filmmaker. The violence and the human pathos come together quite beautifully in this movie.

Tanuja Chandra adopts a very simplistic mode of story-telling but succeeds in extracting accomplished performances. Ali's introduction to Saloni is refreshingly different from the customary boy-meets-girl formula of Bollywood.

The film is set in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks in New York in 2001. As can be expected, it raises the issue of racial discrimination and hatred that Muslims and people of Asian communities face in the US post 9/11.

Hope and A Little Sugar takes a con-narrative take on the after effects of the 9/11 attack. The storyline tries to takes a interpret the mixed feelings of a Sikh and a Muslim who shower their redness of anger in their own little way.

The story revolves around the trauma that a family faces when affected by catastrophic events like that of 11th September bomb blast in New York, USA and how they have to move on in life. It tells the about the tender love of a young Muslim Amit Sial (Ali Siddiqui) and a gorgeous married Punjabi woman Mahima Chaudhary (Saloni) who owns a mithai shop in New York.

Hope & A Little Sugar makes an important point, and for the most part, does it in a way that's simple enough to understand. But there are still enough holes that leave you feeling unsatisfied.
