Extremely overrated, merely OK...

Rating: 7/10 (13 March 2009)

This is a good movie. That's it. It is not a masterpiece and it definitely did not deserve the Oscar. I really cannot understand what is happening with the Academy to award this "only OK" movie with so many Oscars. Also, the end credits are so cheesy that I could not believe it... It seems people really like giving awards to movies that show extreme poverty these days as this is the most striking characteristic of this movie. I have never been to India but I don't suppose that India is ONLY poverty and violence as it is shown. And once again, the end credits were the worst part of the movie, I am still shocked that an Oscar winning movie could have such end credits...
