A movie bollywood is INCAPABLE of making

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2009)

I am disappointed with all the Indian nationalistic thumping that is going on here and rating this movie low.
Danny Boyle is an excellent director and he showed his skills and sincerity to the job making this movie. I like the way he touches so many subjects neither glorifying them nor ignoring them.
"poverty" "communal riots" "hero idolism" "child abuse" "child exploitation"
the only disappointment comes where it is shown that the India is progressing away from such abject poverty and abuse/exploitation which is "FALSE".
As an Indian, I would say "Hats Off" Danny and Simon. Now all the chest thumpers, "Get Off" and just go see your doses of hysterical sequences where self anointed "Kings and Queens of Bollywood" satisfy your appetites.
