EXcellent Movie, Good job

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2011)

This is one of the best movies I have seen in 2008. Danny Boyle has done an excellent job with the cast. He has picked ordinary people from the streets of Mumbai with no acting experience and they have done an excellent job. I was born and brought up in Mumbai, so when I was first asked to see this movie I was a bit skeptical. Anyway this was the first week the movie was released in the US and apart from us just a handful of people watching the last show and we just loved it and personally I felt as if I was back home in Mumbai. Another interesting this was to see the reality portrayed in the slums of Mumbai. This is what Mumbai is all about, it may be disturbing to see some of the stuff but that's what the reality is. I think the movie would have been an even bigger hit if Amitabh Bachan had to play Anil Kapoor's role, he would have been the perfect person for that role. Bollywood loves to show the glamorous part of India, so for a movie to show this side of India I think is great. If I had to watch this movie another 10 times I would watch it and never get bored of it. Lastly, I think this movie deserves all the awards and recognitions. I would certainly give it a 10 on 10.
