average but lacks Indian

Rating: 5/10 (26 December 2008)

First of all this movie is a bit overrated according to me.This type of content was already handled by many Indian directors but was not gained this much of a hype. I would say that in my view Salaam Bombay was a much better film because it had a poignancy in it and also the music was pleasing. Since i am from India i really didn't like the characters speaking in English especially the leads (slumdogs).
Music,Cinematography and editing are the three things which can create the mood. Here all the above three are westernized.I don't want to go deep into this movie and criticize thoroughly rather i would like to say that this movie is a poor slick flick about the poor which lacks true Indian emotions and Indian feel of the movie.
