The slumdog millionaire

This film has created history...A.R Rahaman won golden globe award for this and that is it. I don't see any other reason for Indians to go crazy after this film. This to me is really a nice film but not a epic for us for sure. We are so followers of glory that anything that is acclaimed by west we thought it is the best. We really need to change this mindset. This film made for the west audience who has their imagination ( I would say fixations) abt the 3rd world country and the poetry in this film I thought is what liked by them as it is being made by a foreign director. Otherwise our own directors have portrayed this kind of slum in many of their path breaking films which are not even being recognized by west.

 

Having said that I would really like to appreciate Boyle for making this film. I loved it. It got wonderful cinematic excellence. I wish all its success in academy awards after globe n praying for AR Rahaman. He is a genius for sure.
