Slumdog Millionaire

Slumdog Millionaire!! The movie which grabbed a lot of attention recently ! I was in brother's place watching the Golden Globe Awards , and when our Music Director , whose music we have been loving/listening to,in the past years, got the award , for the best musician , and for this film , we were actually jumping up and down, clapping our hands and getting excited about the whole issue ! By that time i havent seen the movie but only heard of it ! My brother told "hey , u better see it , its a great movie "! ...i was double excited , one that the movie was taken in india , and two- AR Rahman has won the best music director award too ! And most of all this particular movie has won four golden globes and is paving the way to oscars !! I said to my brother , we r making history thru this film ! We did make !

I finally got the link from one of my friend , she was worried after watching the movie ! I thought oh my , why on earth is she worried ? whats wrong .. my tension grew !! At last i gathered the time to sit and watch it , with headphones in my head - cos i didnt want my kids to disturb me !!!
I finished watching it in two parts !! Then i realized that i was also very unsettled by the way the movie was taken! Ok ok .. i do appreciate that a boy belonging to the slums becoming a millionaire in the end , is a great story ,but the way they had portrayed our mother india was the worst ! Oh ,come on, after all India is not only about slums man ! India has already developed and is developing , why dont they take a movie on this yaar .. A movie taken by a westerner , concentrating on the weaker parts of the country , is clearly disturbing !! There was an article in the BBC criticizing the movie and i accept the things written !!

It has been nominated in the Oscars, and i take this movie positively , that it will atleast give more fame to the characters and above all to the billions of indians thru its music !!

Whatever it may be , I luv India , I luv my country !! There will be a time when everybody's eyes r on India and its developments ! Hope there is another picture about india and its positive images !!
