Overrated Garbage

Rating: 3/10 (30 May 2009)

After seeing this movie in theaters, I found it to be quite mediocre at best.
It's a completely tired story with clichés left and right. The only thing that separates it from a pile of otherwise identical plots is that it involves poor Indian characters...
Walking out of the theater, ESPECIALLY after that ridiculous dance scene, I thought this film to be a 6/10 at its very best.
As time went by, this pedantic film got nominated for a bunch of Oscars... I was sorely disappointed.
Then the craziest thing happened, and it won best picture as well as a ton of other Oscars. Now it's even #60 of all time here.
This pains me... a lot. I had no idea such a terrible movie could play the race card and win best picture.
