It ain't a family movie, but still compelling - jai ho. But Shankar/Ehsaan/Loy missing

Rating: 8/10 (11 March 2016)

Some people may think Slumdog Millionaire is an uplifting family movie based on some of the marketing. Yes it's uplifting in some ways, but hardly a family movie. If you're thinking of taking your kids to see Slumdog Millionaire, beware.
The opening interrogation scene was in Hindi but the language was full of expletives unbeknownst to viewers who don't understand Hindi.
The song Jai Ho was amazing. But I was surprised that the famous Indian film composer trio Shankar/Ehsaan/Loy weren't invited to contribute to the soundtrack.
I've always wondered where the hotel scene was filmed.
The ending was actually uplifting despite all the death and drama. The dancing at Mumbai central railway station was uplifting - Jai Ho!
