Good movie, not worthy of Oscar

Rating: 5/10 (21 July 2009)

I agree 100% with the previous reviewer (yogesh).Especially on the fact that AR Rahman has scored countless masterpieces and this is rather mediocre coming from him.
Also, not all of Mumbai is a slum. Not all Indian children have a rough childhood, either.
I liked the movie in that it took all the elements of a commercial Hindi movie and combined them to create a slick fast paced "foreign" film. Credit to Danny Boyle and Loveleen Tandon for that.
Begs the question, a movie based in India, based on an Indian story, starring an all-Indian cast, shot extensively in India, yet why did no Indian make this movie? Where were the self-proclaimed greats of Bollywood cinema like Yash Chopra, Karan Johar and RG Varma?
