Great movie!

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2008)

Just after seeing Ghajini recently, this movie is like a masterpiece. The direction is great, cinematography is excellent. The story is strong. Nothing seem to be exaggerated  the slums shown are what exist in Mumbai . Little kids forced (by bad guys or by birth .. doesn't matter) into begging are what one sees in Mumbai at signals and under bridges etc. There are no unnecessary songs and no stupid dances and no hackneyed plots. The character of Jamal is slowly and steadily developed and his love is well depicted. Somewhat out of place was the ending part of Salim's character. His character was developed as a fierce person but at the end it kind of switched. But it's a small aspect and that might be only my observation.
This is a great movie and goes in my top 100 list.
