Machan is not a action flick. It is a social document. It captures the raw energy of Pettah, the desperation of the Sri Lankan middle class post-civil war, and the absurdity of visa politics. The actors were largely non-professionals pulled from the streets of Colombo, giving it a neorealist feel closer to Bicycle Thieves than Cheriyo Darling .

Despite (or perhaps because of) its low budget and realistic portrayal of urban Sri Lanka, Machan became an international festival favorite and a cult classic among Sri Lankan and world cinema fans.

The catch? No one in the group has ever played handball—in fact, there wasn't even a national handball team in Sri Lanka at the time. Machan (2008) - IMDb
