Truly this film is world's first globalised masterpiece.

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2016)

I really enjoyed Slumdog Millionaire. There is absolutely nothing wrong with an occasional feel good, happy ending to a movie, especially a movie which is fairly well written n has a good story. Slumdog Millionaire is one of those rare films that comes along every once in a while that is simply breathtaking. At times it is hard to watch the violence towards the children in this film. But a true feel good in the end. Ultimately, the victory that counts is off-screen: it's the artistic triumph of one man, who delivered the feel-good movie of the decade. Best direction by Danny Boyle. Slumdog Millionaire is much better than City of God. The message of grit and hope the movie carries has resonated with the people world over. It gives them the hope that not all is lost, things will become OK if you hang in there. Luck would favor you if you tread the straight path with perseverance. "Jamal, son is it you? You have my blessings, go win it all". That poor lady's wishes n prayers really came true.
Professional actors always look like they are acting - its just that we get used to it. The people in this film for the most part are not professional actors, especially the kids, but they acted very well. Truly this film is the "world's first globalised masterpiece". One of the reasons why this is a feel-good film for me because one cannot help but along the way, rooting for Jamal to succeed. From every point of view, acting, direction, cinematography, music to any little detail of the film you name it, has been worked on almost to perfection, to create refreshing tale of love, betrayal, crime and Destiny. Screenplay by Simon Beaufoy was excellent. Music by A. R. Rahman was excellent. Cinematography by Anthony Dod Mantle was excellent. Editing by Chris Dickens was excellent. Sound Mixing by Resul Pookutty, Richard Pryke, and Ian Tapp was excellent.
