Slumdog Millionaire

Well! Apologies for the delays and for being off for this long! My slumdog manager (No offense meant to anyone) had ensure I have almost got a twenty hour a day work schedule! More on my slumdog story at the end of this blog!

Well coming to the actual stuff, watched the much hyped Slumdog Millionaire/ Crorepati just because of the word of mouth popularity and believe me to the fullest, I was not enthralled by the show just as may be the rest of the world was!

The music was mediocre, just one Jai Ho! song was okay, there have been better deliveries from the legend A R Rahman himself in his earlier compositions! The TV shows in India are still running the campgain supporting Slumdog for the Oscars, but I personally feel there were better options.

Coming to the acting skill, there was nothing to act there! Even a kid watching Big B on Siddarth Basu's KBC can enact Amithabh. Coming to the child actors, they were paid, they acted, for some of them, believe it was routine life. The young actors seriously did not have much to act there. Coming toIrfaan Khaan. OMG!! It was probably his most mediocre performance. He is a class actor and can to much better than making a subordinate call someone - the bitch from the slum!

Overall, the movie portrayed negatives and had more negatives over life in India than positives. The lives of the slum was portrayed very negatively and the communal divide overexposed. Believe there had to be a curb on the way the life has been portrayed at least for the sake of the nation!

One word for the Slumdog crew. Its a good effort, but honestly, the movie has played around with the sentiments of the average slumdwellers life. Hopefully none of the so called social organizations have seen this movie ;) God luck, for the Oscars!
