Slumdog.....

Last year....around same time i watched "TZP" and came out of theatre emotionally and prayed tat i hope we get the oscars this time (and TZP is offical entry to oscars..though it didnt make to final 5 :()................after an year..........browsing through downloadable movie site i did download "SLUMDOG MILLIONARE" and i must confess.........i was on the edge of my seat from first scene to last.............FANTASTIC SCREENPLAY!!! if TZP is the story of every middle class child in india then SM is the story of lowerclass child in india.
The JHAKAAS actor Anil Kapoor has done a JHAKAAS acting in it. The story is abt a slum guy JAMAAL who is a humble tea-maker from the streets of Mumbai who appears on a game show and exceeds people's expectations, raising suspicions from the game show host and law enforcement. The smart thing here is each question asked in the game show has an incident related to his life. Thats y i say fantastic story as well. The only regret i had about this movie is that, i wish an indian director directed it. It is directed by Danny Boyle a british director. A special mention of very good music from our very own A R Rehman is must. He won Golden globe for this and am hoping for oscar as well.It releases in india @ jan 9. Dont miss it!!!!!!!

I saw SM, movie screen play is good, no doubt on that.but the movie dont tell all the reality of Indian living in slums. And more over giving an impression over all Indians by the western media is all wrong.
