Plot
Eager to test his friends' devotion to him, 10-year-old British-Indian Zakir Noorani lies about moving to India forever. What he doesn't know is that he has a special power, one that allows him to speak into existence whatever he wishes if he fails to cross his fingers. Or at least that's what his sister Aaisha leads him to believe. Haunted by his recent viewing of Slumdog Millionaire, Zakir attempts to escape his fate while his sister relishes in his torment.
