The Slumdong and the Millionarire
Posted On Saturday, February 21st, 2009 By Ravi
Have I been a spoilt brat that I like only masala movies from Bollywood? Don’t I really recognize a good movie? Well, I did like Aishwarya’s The Mistress of Spices. Infact I would say that it was her best movie. Full of spices and yet no masala. I liked The Namesake, and I did like Fire as well. I admired Shabana Azmi and the role that she played in that movie. So why didn’t I like Slumdog? Is it because the movie is too realistic? Or is it because I have seen the real India already and don’t see anything new in this movie? Or is it because i knew the story since long. It is just a love story, and a guy gets lucky and makes a 20 million rupees. Well, if I were lucky, and if I were asked the right questions, I would have surprised Amit ji as well. Or even Shah Rukh. What is the big deal about this movie? What is the big fuzz? I don’t really see it.
