Slumdog Millionaire is Slum

on February 2, 2009

Yes the title says it. Its a really good desi masala movie packed in a nice little tamper proof plastic cup so that it can be cooked instantly in your DVD player.

As I was watching it I was wondering why it got nominated for Grammy and Oscars come on people haven’t you watched a better movie in your language.

I’m still wondering when was the last time Indians talked in Millions we follow the Indian Number system which is lakhs and crores.  The kids playing cricket reminds of  Chennai 28 which was a good movie.

Hell yeah this movie wasn’t  made for Indians it was made for the International community who are curious to know/learn about Mumbai after the November 26,2008 Mumbai attack.

Well there is one thing this movie has is A.R. Rahman but the Jai ho sounds similar to a track from Om Shanti Om and I’m not sure which song it is.

Its good marketing guys but don’t expect this to run this movie in India you know the result.

If only Kamal Hasan learns to market like these guys his Virumandi one of the best movies I have ever seen would have won a national award at least.

If you liked this movie then try watching yet another master piece called Pesum Padam/Pushpak from Kamal.

    This film is for the western audience and in India it was released as Slumdog Crorepati.I don’t think its as bad as your judgement. I’ve seen it with my Indian friends and we all loved it.
    Even an Indian director did not have the guts to show the real Mumbai.Yes ,There are better movies than this but this is the best for 2008 oscar’s best picture award.
    And when did you start listening to Hindi music?
