Slumdog Millionaire..

Wow ! Superb movie ! Very different movie. I dono how our indian film directors dint get the idea of making a movie on slum kids, how they lead their lives in slum. A british director has done it but some of us rnt able to accept it. So there s lot of opposition,criticism and controversy abt tis. What s wrong if a foreigner makes a film abt our slums ? He hasnt shown anything which is unreal. He has come out with the actual fact tat Ppl in slum r happy though they r poor and underprivileged. They r happy with their way of life. They rnt longing to become rich.Y rnt v seeing the positives aspects of the film ? The movie is abt how a slum kid makes it big in life. Its abt positive and never-say-die attitude and has proved tat nothing is impossible in life. Though india is on its way to join the group of developed countries, v cannot deny the fact tat in india, the rich is becoming richer and the poor is poorer.
How many films these days focus on real day-to-day issues ? Most of our recent movies r vulgar and pure masala movies (though there is also a lot of good movies being made). The heroine is just a glamdoll and her only job in the movie wld be to romance with the hero and show to her skin. She is there only for the oomph factor. None of us seem to be bothered abt tis but v r always ready to create some controversy abt good movies like SM. When v r not voicing our opposition abt senseless movies which cld instigate our young minds to do wrong things, y shd v create unnecessary controversy abt good films ?

  2. The issue is not to criticise or not to critise. Whatever it may be, slumdog is an art and is entitled by default to criticism... The issue, however is, whether the criticism is fair. FOr example, I heard somebody (I think Amitabh Bachchan- hope i got the spelling right)say that the movie portrays only the draker side of India. Now, such a criticism might not be fair on a movie about slums et al. What does one expect in a film about the protogonist from the slums of Mumbai?
    Also, criticism is a virtue. What would happen if we accept things as they are? Hence criticism per se must not be shunned and nonsensical criticism must...

  4. Very true. SM is a different film, opens up a different view for us. But i hope the foreigners are not saying "Oh you are from India, Mumbai, Slums".
    Btw, watched this movie in tam too in pondicherry, and the crowd here seemed to get the meaning of the movie.
