Boyle's knowledge of India is remarkable.

Rating: 9/10 (3 December 2008)

After spending 6 weeks in India then coming back for a week and watching this film, I did enter with a bias attitude, however within 30 minutes I was enthralled with the cinematic beauty that portrayed India and the then developing Bombay. The story, a game show turned into a movie, is not extremely original, but the way this one was depicted made it original and outstanding. The standard love story Bollywood plot mixed with Boyle's trainspotting nature made Slumdog a delightful 2 hour experience that I strongly recommend to all and exceedingly urge Desi's to watch, even my Indian mother loved it, although I know my father also enjoyed he may have a had a bit more bias in him.
