Slumdog Millionaire

hi guys...its been quite a sometime since i have added anything into my blog....well just a couple of weeks ago i saw the movie 'Slumdog Millionaire' at a frenz house. I had huge expectations from the movie as every piece of word i heard about it before watching was tantamount to it being considered as the movie of the year. As i started watching i started feeling a bit uneasy cos i was finding it really difficult to find people speaking in such fluent english. By people i mean the police constable and the inspector. If that wasnt enough the guy from mumbai slum is speaking in an accent that is mostly found in uk with his other friends and relatives from his neighborhood. Then the sequence in which they go across the country xploring the beauty and charisma of countryside, in the background a music is being played in which somebody is rapping in english and also some foreign language i guess, it felt so unrealistic. It felt as if i am watching some fast and furious movie with a train at 60km/h replacing the superfast bikes. If that wasnt enough the kids with no formal education in english becoming guides for foreign tourists overnight. Well i guess i am getting into too much detail. Lets come to the story. I have been to mumbai and i can tell u hw difficult it can be finding out people in the bizarre crowd where everybody is moving forward to grab that little amount of space created by the person in front but...the protagonist finds his girl 2-3 times without any external help that too at different ages. Well, everything is fare whn u show ppl in love, rt??? Now coming to the gameshow well i havent seen any host of any reality show making fun of the profession of a participant. Well he makes quite a few derogatory remarks and ridicules him of being a 'chaiwalah'. Anil Kapoor is lousy in his bit role as the quizmaster. I wont go into the details of the story as u r going to see the story of the luckiest person ever to keep his feet on earth. Now the music....well A.R.Rehman is a legend...his score here is mediocre when smone compares this with his prior compositions. If this can fetch Rehman 3 nominations in oscar, he should have by now won atleast 5-10 oscars. The final song is picturised very poorly, it felt absolutely out of context. Why the hell were people dancing on platforms of Mumbai VT and chanting 'Jai Ho', the choreography was also not upto the mark. One can say i am getting too critical, well there were quite a few things i liked about the movie. The cinematography and screenplay is stunning. There are some wonderful sequences in between which has the ability to overshadow all the loopholes in the story. The chemistry between th lead characters is worth a mention. The director has done a commendable job by xtracting every ounce of acting prowess from the non-actors at different stages of the film.Some sequences during the gameshow are captivating and enthralling. Well see the movie dont xpect too much like me and u will njoy bt please dont criticise it for showing poverty and crime in India as it is hardcore reality and the movie surely doesnt carry the burden of showing India to the world. Enjoy the movie...
