One of the best movies I have probably seen till date…Slumdog wins hands down! I have been reading much criticism about the movie…people have been bashing the director’s team for displaying poverty in such a way. However, far from Fiction movies, it stands apart. In Mumbai there is a section of people who might have similar lifestyle and probably might have a very close resemblance to what the movie showed up, or probably worse, everyone between us, reads newspaper with 10 different stories of murder, rape, extortion and what not, and then we close the newspaper and get down with our daily business. It is difficult for anyone to spend 10 minutes to think about someone like Jamal {actor in Slumdog} – and his lifestyle. Yesterday while I was on my way towards office, I witness a horrible incident, a small kid {beggar} was beaten horrendously by someone – I believe probably he might have not earned required amount by end of day.
There was not a single dull moment in entire run..every question has a story in itself…let it be riots in the city for no reason, I wonder what satisfaction one gets while killing 10 innocent poor people who have done nothing, probably those who have been killed don’t even know the reason for why they have been killed for…or human trafficking…kids / females are like commodities, I know it is brutal….but it stands true even in developed cities.
Slumdog is a low budget movie, but it might end up making far more money for the producers than big budget projects we have seen this year
Vivek Misra
It was truly a great movie! Although, I understand there’s been some commotion in India regarding the flick…perhaps the producers could start a fund, whereby some proceeds of the movie (or DVD sales) go to helping the poor.
slumdog milionaire is a good film (: I bought DVD of slumgod millionire and I will watch today again
