Kinda boring .

Rating: 2/10 (7 November 2018)

The title is unintelligible . What is ' slumdog ' anyway ? It makes no sense , is not in usage & is offensive to hear . Who calls a slum dweller a ' dog ' ?! No one does .
The lead was miscast . Neither Patel nor his accent were realistic for a call - centre chaiwallah . I don't know how many govt. school kids know about the three musketeers , let alone unlettered urchins . Too far fetched .
The only terrifying thing I learned from the movie was that thugs can gouge out perfectly good eyes to make a child beg .
Mira Nair's ' Salaam Bombay ' is a better watch for people who want to watch authentic ' Indian slum ' movies .
Seen ' Slumdog millionaire ' twice - still don't like it . ( And the 'bollywood' dancing in the film made me cringe ! Danny Boyle didn't seem to get what genre of hindi films has those kind of performances )
