good , but not the best

Rating: 9/10 (12 January 2009)

i definitely agree the movie is great.i mean screenplay,direction,music(not rehman's best though) and direction are surely commendable.but i do think the movie is overrated (mainly because of the fact that it won golden globe today).i am Indian and i watch Tamil,Hindi and English movies(a lot of them).anyone will agree that the movie is not as good as 'saving private Ryan' or what i consider one of the bollywood's best-aamir khan's taare zameen par.slumdog may have been a great movie for others but for Indians it is surely not the best film about their country or better than taare zameen par or rang de basanti.i am not blaming anyone for this but i am sure slumdog will surely drop from the 8.7 it has now
