A breathtaking and visually stunning movie.

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2009)

I must admit that I was a little skeptical in viewing this movie due to the mass hype generated throughout the internet of "Slumdog" as a feel good movie. To my knowledge there are lot of filmmakers who use emotions as a gimmick to make audiences embrace a movie despite of major flaws in other aspects of the movie. However it was not the case with Danny Boyle's brilliantly made film.
From the very start to the end, I knew I was witnessing a phenomenon of a movie. Based on an acclaimed novel, this movie engages with the audience and keeps them guessing at every moment. Lively and energetic performances ranging from the much younger actors to Dev Patel and Freida Pinto keep this movie running without dying down. The cinematography mixed with great locations and music (composed by A.R Rahman) makes this an unforgettable screen gem of our time. WATCH this movie, in fact watch it TWICE, for you won't be disappointed. BEWARE of naysayers.
