Kudos to A.R. Rahman and Gulzar for bringing the Oscars to India ! Resul Pookutty also made India proud ! Accolades to "Smile Pinki" as well for winning the Oscar in best documentary category.
Well Slumdog Millionaire also won Golden Globe Awards!
I saw Slumdog Millionaire en route to Bangalore in Volvo !! The movie ,released a month late in India , lost theatrical revenues to pirated versions.Wondering whether making it tax-free now would make much of a difference?
It "seems" a pretty "realistic" film ..Seen some of them earlier also.
On another note, I was wondering, is it really the complete picture of India or just a part of the picture of urbane lower income group/people below poverty-line in India or more specifically Mumbai? On the global platform, isn't this the way India has been dished out since very long ? Lot of westerns still think India primarily as the land of elephants and snake-charmers.Well thanks to the western media and our own media people.Are there no slums in any other part of the world or no beggars anywhere else ? But somehow they seem fascinated by this aspect of ours.
In any case, I am very happy for the child actors in the movie really dwelling in slums ...Hopefully they will now have better education and better life :-)
Saw the hoardings and posters of another movie Luck by Chance...
...Jai Ho
P.S : Actually had written the post partially on 19Th but didn't get to post it then
