best picture of the year

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2009)

I found this movie to be highly interesting and probably the best movie I've seen all year.While the outcome was somewhat predictable, the intensity of the flashbacks, the cinematography and the acting skills displayed by the three main characters left me feeling like this could be the Oscar winner for best picture.The story is told in an ingenious manner and many scenes contain both humor and violence in equal parts.The great mass of people currently living in Munbai is obvious as is the horrid conditions of the slum dwellers who inhabited Bombay in the recent past.Of course the setting is more than a bit ironic considering recent events in Mumbai.All in all this was an excellent movie that deserves showing in many more theaters.
