A true Fairy tale

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2009)

The riveting start, the charming middle and the fairytale ending really does the trick. You will feel really good leaving the cinema hall.
There are not many flaws in this movie. The only major flaw would be character development and the emotional factor in the love scenes. Other than that, nothing. Really, nothing !
People are saying that this film shows a very negative side of India. But I say that about 28% of India live in this way and we just ignore it. Only the middle class and the ultra rich enjoy India's development fruits and I think the film shows a few hints of it here and there.
The plot is not the usual rags to riches story, but if you are an Indian, you would think I have seen many films like this...but this is not one of "those" many films.
This a fairy tale movie with a realistic touch to it. This is a film you should not miss. Danny Boyle has succeeded in making a very good movie.
