Excellent whether an Indian movie goer or otherwise

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2008)

This film offers something not seen on screen before now, a lovely presentation of fantasy and love mixed with the reality of slum living in India and the juxtapositions of democracy and criminality in local government.
This might have been a Bollywood production with its moments of love and fantasy, the vibrant color.. The end dance with the film's cast and production crew is so lovely-genuinely Indian. I loved it and will continue to recommend it above all others this year including Milk and certainly above Doubt. I am not surprised that most viewers agreed with me if for different reasons.
