"Directed by Shree Narayan Singh, the film was retitled Toilet Hero (Cesuo Yingxiong) for the China market. The movie tells the story of an Indian man who manages to win back the heart of his newlywed wife by building an in-house toilet for her, a break from the local custom of doing one's business out in the open air. The film was inspired by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Clean India Movement, a campaign to improve sanitary conditions in the country."Above is a quote from the Hollywood Reporter, see the full article here:

I often wonder if our "Magic Sand" sewer story isn't movie worthy too. I just wouldn't call it a love story; it falls more into the tragedy category, with many sad vignettes that played out over the many years of looming crisis. Bring a full roll of toilet paper (as opposed to a box of Kleenex) to the premier if it ever comes to a cineplex near you.
