Slumdog is an interesting movie....


Watched the movie more thn a week ago but getting tim only nw to write smthng abt it...the movie is an underdog-cum-triumph of the human spirit story, which hs its breath-taking moments....altho the plot hs a few gaping loopholes, the direction and razor-sharp editing more thn make up for them...and thrs tht meastro touch by Rehman, tht elevates the movie to a diffrnt level altogethr...the performances are awe-inspiring, esp by the kids...gr8 work thr by the director again...
coming to the accusations tht the movie portrays india in poor light, i wud lik to say, ths is a movie and if u cant digest the truth, go watch drona...also, if ths movie portrays india in poor light, wt picture do u thnk movies lik tashan, cc2c and rab ne present to the outer world of india? bacchan can go tk a break...i never expected an actor of his stature and maturity to say smthng lik ths in hs blog! gues hes not as sane as i thot he ws!
all the gimmickry of glorifying the west and the cliched item dance in the end aside, ths is an awesome tale told wit aplomb and finesse by the team...so much so tht u r willing to accept watevr they present on ur platter...and there-in lies the victory of the movie! Brilliant with a capital B!!
