It's really good. The story is just easy to get sucked into and its structure enhances that. Salim and Ram are great characters who complement each other well. They are such sweet boys who go through way too damn much!! My main dislike is that the writing is riddled with these quippy little remarks or observations throughout that are mostly just corny. And I do think the movie is better. It just keeps everything a bit more focused and reined in. Very much enjoyed though!
