a real heart warmer.

Rating: 8/10 (19 March 2009)

without any questions: a good movie. like forest gump it's a heart warmer. quite well produced, but not as good as his masterpiece TRAINSPOTTING, because that one was outstanding, quite extraordinary by almost everything. why this movie got an Oscar for the music score, i really don't know, but who knows, perhaps there was not a better one this year. for sure i can watch this one twice or even more over the years. i enjoyed pretty much the actors Anil Kapoor as the moderator (outstanding performance!!!) and Ankur Vikal as the gangster Maman. it's a more untypical movie by danny boyle, so probably this has something to do with his co director. it's part time funny, but don't expect a fully funny one, sometimes it's just the opposite. the story is part time a bit unreal (when the winner get arrested by the moderator or the more or less whole story about India), but this doesn't matter. you can for sure enjoy this one, it's almost impossible to say it's not a good one.
