Too real

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2008)

Let me start with the basic point that the story ain't exaggerated , it is real India. That is what i loved most about it.Danny Boyle(of Trainspotting fame) captures Bombay(Mumbai) like it is .I am amazed by the level of detail shown in the film cause it's ironic as even Indian directors often restrain from showing the grittiness of Mumbai slums.
A story about a chai(tea)-wallah,Jamal who is detained by the police on suspicion of cheating on the game show "Who wants to be a millionaire ?".Of the cast,the child actors seem to outperform the lead actors.I strongly recommend this film especially if you are visiting India as it may serve as a "travel advisory" for you.
The only thing I couldn't understand is how they got the British accent all of a sudden.
