Average...at the most.

Rating: 1/10 (31 December 2011)

First of all, I have no idea what the hue and cry is about. This film is average at most. The acting is mediocre, the story is decent. That's about it. The only creative and exciting part of the film was the "Who wants to be a millionaire" show. Apart from that, i must say that the film was very unrealistic. ( I am saying this because as an Indian, it is disturbing to hear people say that this is how India exactly is, and this is how it is in real life). Secondly, the direction was decent. Nothing spectacular. Some of the scenes like the Jai Ho dance in the end was a very good attempt at copying some of the commercial Bollywood films, which, consequently, are horrible. The only thing which made this film do well in the box office, and win an Oscar is due to the "Indian Stereotype" and the hype surrounding it.
5/10 at the most.
