India from the west mirror - but still a good one

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2009)

So here we come to 'Slumdog Millionaire'.
The rating is high because of acting and screenplay. But coming down to the real basics, the music of the film got Oscar, is still not the best of A.R. Rehman , check out 'Dil se', 'Taal', etc. to know what good music is all about.
Why it got Oscars ?
Headline tells you the story.
The movie starts in a police interrogation room and takes you through numerous small stories of Jamal's life, touching all nooks and corners of problems in India, the dark gallows of beggar rackets to bhai's of Mumbai who dictate the terms in real estate markets there. The religion problem was not missed either, not even the irresponsible call centers and yes the good America also made an appearance :P.
The movie makes a happy ending after all this hustle and bustle.
Sadly enough all this is true, but hey people there is much more to the country than what this movie tells you. The only advice of mine please see it with an open mind and don't stereotype the movie, it has a more subtle message to send which very few will catch. It talks about hope and it talks about growth, it talks about change and it talks about triumph. A good one time watch with some strokes of comedy as well.
So people have a ball watching this, though your views might differ from mine the movie is not as good as it has been put on to be.
