slumdog millionaire is a winner.

Rating: 9/10 (5 February 2009)

A few months back when I heard that a movie called SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE made by Danny Boyle had taken the Toronto film festival by storm, i got curious to know more about it, mainly because of its peculiar name and also that movies successful at Toronto have been classics. Finally, when I saw the trailer, I was overwhelmed to see a movie on Mumbai after quite a while. Since then, I'd been waiting for the 23rd of Jan.
Finally I saw it on the 23rd of Jan itself and I was falling short of adjectives to praise this outstanding once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece.
It's a movie which got me emotionally engaged from start to finish. Though I feel that the movie could've been more dramatic by showing Salim and Javed's characters as more mean and bad, still I don't want to point out goofs in this movie, you don't find movies like this releasing every Friday. With an outstanding screenplay, excellent music, breakthrough performances by all actors and above all Danny's heart and soul put in the film, this is a movie to be recognized among movies made by Spielberg, Scorsese, Copolla and other such legends. 10 out of 10 from me !
Also, I wish the team all the very best for the Oscars. I just wish that SLUMDOG wins all 10 of them!
JAI HO!!!
