Slumdog Millionaire..

I am not a hardcore English Movie fanatic. I hardly watch those and that too thrilling movies. Dramas, romantic films are a no no for me. But this is different case, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIR. I have not heard about it until it gets nominated for the Golden globes. And then it gets that award. This is the time I became curious about the movie.

Finally I watched the movie. Although there were lots of critisism against the movie regarding the name and also questions DOES SLUMDOG DESERVE AN OSCAR NOMINATION??, I simply loved the movie. If you ask me why the movie was made in the slums of Mumbai, sorry I have no answer. And if the movie was made in slums of US or any other country, and if you ask me the same question, the answer will be the same, NO IDEA.

I loved the movie, it touched my heart and I totally agree with its OSCAR nomination. That does not mean that I watch all OSCAR nominated movie. I decide whether a film is brilliant or not by asking my heart. If it touches then its brilliant, if not its trashy. In this case it really does. Some scenes are still running in my mind.

Now to the movie, the script and direction is strong, the story is interesting and well told, and the actors deserve applause. The film takes you through many emotions, but above all, and what drew me in, is that this is a simple film. It’s basic, no additional luxury (except that Bollywood style closing) and it appears to be passionate. Made from the heart.

Standing ovation from me for the makers of this wonderful film.
