Simply Brilliant !

Rating: Null/10 (26 January 2009)

Rarely does a film come out to enthrall you in every scene and frame. Slumdog Millionaire is a massive accomplishment that cannot be contained in words. The first time I saw it, I realized the efforts that had gone into the production of this film were prodigious. Every moment captures the hopes and dreams and the will to fight in order to survive, embodying a raw human spirit. Being an Indian, I can affirm that very few movies have been made where the wicked side of my nation was expressed so masterfully on celluloid. Be it sexual exploitation, political corruption or communal riots, every incident keeps you involved, which is the film's greatest achievement. The narration, direction and acting is bound seamlessly that you almost feel you're present in the film. Special mention on others behind the film especially Rehman who has captured the perfect mood on sound. As I swayed to Jai ho at the end, I couldn't help but feel like a millionaire and I'm certain that other viewers will agree. Slumdog is a winner. All the way !!
