Because it is written?

Rating: 8/10 (21 April 2013)

A surprise at the hands of Danny Boyle, much like "City Of God" represents an underbelly, but still just a fraction, of a country population yet to lessen the inequity between the well off and the forgotten slums population. Gritty and an editing masterpiece, "Slumdog" chops the timeline to draw you in and lets the bit of fairy tale play out. At times brutal and at others smirky smart, the characters play their parts without the need to fully explain everything. This lack of audience insult is almost forfeited due to the ridiculous Bollywood end credits dance sequence. This is a cleverly assimilation of ideals, reality, corruption and a love story that I could have done without.
