Review: Slumdog Millionaire

I heard lot about the film in media. A. R. Rahman had got his first Golden Globe award was pure joy. Its a movie with lot of Indian emotion and drama. Emotional feelings were aroused to a large extent by acting of small Jamal. The beauty of film was it showed in a nutshell all the social traumas suffered by the slum dwellers. But in greater outlook it has highlighted the troubles of lower income group. Working hard, fighting for recognition and striving chords of their heart.
The movie covering from the Riots ,underworld and modern religion -" working in call centers". All actors have done a marvelous job, except the attitude Anil Kapoor was talking on a reality show was just too low. Editing of the film is excellent. The way story runs is appealing and moving.

A long debate is going on these days someone writing in their blogs that this film is crap and it sends wrong signal to audience about India. As the director and most of the film crew members are Non-Indian so they have ignored Indian sentiments. Perhaps they have forgot that this movie is based on The book "Q& A" written by Vikas Swarup who is an Indian says Salman Hasan. Arindam Chaudhury in his blog has criticized that its like typical Hindi Movie crap and has sent wrong signals and you must not watch this movie. Though he has given such comments after watching the movie himself, so you cannot force any one to not to watch this movie. You have choice in Times rating the have awarded 4,5 out of 5. Now its your choice you want to watch this movie or not.

Coming to music, its sensational. Its already rocking the world chart and pouring awards to much deserved Rahman and Gulzar. My favorite track is "Paper plane" and "Jai Ho". "Jai Ho" seems to be new national anthem arousing sense of enthusiasm. The music deserves laurels.

Western media rates this movie as overrated. It has got more Oscar Nominations than Dark Knight. Certainly I will rate Dark Knight far better to win an Oscar, but its my personal view. The first part where children play a part is new, but young Jamal turns teenage, it seems to be typical Hindi movie except the way it is edited. Yes the movie has used abusive language to large extent to give a real touch.

Overall its a good movie. But the ticket prices have rose sky high after its 10 Oscar nomination is not good.
