Slumdog Millionaire

WOW WOw Wow wow...

Had to 'wow' it 4 times cos' - if you've seen the movie you know what I'm 'wow'ing about...

Stayed awake the whole night to watch it win 8 Oscars and 7 BAFTAS .. not to mention 4 Golden Globes and Best Ensemble at the SAG. I'm so very glad that benjamin & nixon were not the academy's favorite.


Already watched it 7 times (will be going for more again).

In fact I'm not yet sure why this movie has caught my eye. I go every time to check every single detail of the movie and i still don't know the answer. I'm just glued into it..

• is it the screenplay





• is it the intensity





• is it the clarity





• is it the minute details





• is it as close as reality can get





• is it the music





• is it the song





• is it the children





• is it Jai Ho





• is it Mahesh Manjrekars appearance





• is it love





• is it the last question





• is it innocence of Latika





• is it the determination of Jamal





• is it the brotherly affection of Salim





• is it the power of Prem





• is it the curiosity of the Police Inspector(Irrfan Khan)





• is it just every single thing
  

and its everything.. even more than what Ive noted above (especially the last question). This movie has life . The first time i watched the movie.. at the end i realised.. i did not watch it all.. It was me being Jamal and seeing the movie come to life through him. The movie comes to life with its three protagonist Jamal, Latika and Salim. But as for me personally I'd give full credit to my three musketeers - the child actors -the youngest Jamal, Latika & Salim, Definitely deserves a standing ovation for Ayush Mahesh Khedekar, Rubina Ali & Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail.

I basically don't have words to describe this excellent crafted masterpiece. Slumdog Millionaire (as the critic put it) is the ''the feel good film of the decade''. And that was one of the the first very few critic that created the ongoing rave. And then followed more and more and this underdog movie is a smashing it.

Danny Boyle, M. Night Shyamalan - it took them just one movie to make them icons for life (even if their other movies don't work out) for Night it was the Sixth Sense and for Danny Trainspotting. A extremely well deserved award for Boyle and all the other winners (yipeeee for A R Rahman getting 2 Oscars)

Jamal wins 2 million rupees in the Indian version of 'Who wants to be a Millionaire'. And he wins it by surviving / struggling through life & his determination to find Latika. Though Ive heard that there are many loopholes.... come to think of it.. there are NONE. Its the height of perfection. Danny Boyle once said he doesn't believe in perfection. Well cos' that's what he does - its perfection.

I'm not going to comment on the f***ed up comments by renowned bollywood personalities because its utterly bs. Surprising how one can get jealous when a movie / person gets fame it deserves. I'm not surprised why some bollywood starts aren't getting international recognition s/he deserves.

Finally a movie which will always be on top of my list. Fabulous acting, lovely cinematography, mind blowing music and direction to its height of reality.

A must for everyone, a edge of the seat entertainer....

We bring you Slumdog Millionaire.
