Slumdog Miliionaire - worth more than just a million


Yes I happened to see this movie.. and i am not going to review this movie and praise it from top to bottom cos its just all above it..

The movie is fantabulous( if thats a word)
It starts off amazingly well and ends with a perfect bollywood ending although it being made by a foreign director DANNY BOYLE.

The movie basically gives you a message that there are certain things that you learn in your life which are really unknown to you.
It says that each day that u live is itself a learning process for you and nothing is wasted.
True underdog.. or whatever u call it.. rags to riches story.

Depicted mumbai slums and mumbai as bollywood movie has ever done it.
Although many ppl have raised objections abt showing mumbai in a negative light but thats how it is right.
People have seen the malls the sky rises and the marine drives.. nobody has shown the largest slum in asia properly.

The performances are just mind blowing.

A special mention abt the kid JAMAL in the movie he gives a heartwarming performance.
Anil Kapoor plays a nice host with smirks and sarcasm involved referring JAMAL as chaiwala again and again.
Irfan Khan had a miniscule role but excelled there too.
the main leads DEV PATEL AND FREIDA PINTO .. are the actual stars of the movie.

and yea a special mention to the soundtrack... it deserves all the awards and da accolades..
A.R Rahman at it again..
give an ear to RINGA RING , MILLIONAIRE , JAI HO, O SAYA
supercool numbers!!

In the end the movie is a must must watch and i hope for OSCARS .. its all
JAI HO !!!!!!!..

RATINGS - 4.5/5
