Slumdog Millionaire a Pathway to Oscar ! A clear winner

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2008)

Excellent, superb, fantastic is the word that I wanna use for director Danny Boyle.
This time he has picked up a completely different subject to portray unlike his previous films. While watching through the entire movie I was amazed how closely this person was able to capture small moments that mesmerizes our minds and stays on for a while. Great job done. Most of us were amazed and asking this question to me whether this movie was actually made by Danny Boyle or by some Indian director. Never ever throughout this movie you'll feel that this movie has been directed by a Hollywood director.
The treatment and the feel of the movie was awesome. This one will not knock the doors for Oscar but would rather kick the doors and break it down until its open and I mean it. This is one movie which cannot go unnoticed. In my own words I see many shades of "Salaam Bombay" which earned India its 2nd Oscar nomination, but this was better than Salaam Bombay and even not as depressing as Salaam Bombay. It has fantastic and soothing ending unlike Salaam Bombay.
Performance wise the heart and soul of the movie has to be the 2 small kids from the where the movie starts off, they were so natural and the best part was that they reminded us the actual 80's & 90's feel yet not depressing and it has its life on it own which is immortal.
The movie has already been praised outside India. But I'm highly disappointed by the producers as its not been promoted in India to large extent which it surely deserves. This movie needs a high promotion just like Ghajini as it is the only best movie of 2008 if try to compare it with any movie that has released in 2008 so far.
You'll have to watch it to believe. It's a lifetime experience.
Watch it & enjoy it.
