With a very impressive narrative, Slumdog Millionaire based on Vikas Swarup’s “Q and A” has parts like the 1992 classic “City of Joy” but even better is its smooth blend of bites of reality and flights of fantasy this film explores areas like troubles of growing up and occasional victory. The mix of destiny, luck, money, courage, love, inter-human relationships that Boyle cooked up and the way he held them with one common thread, is highly appreciable.
True!! The best bit is that the reality shown in this movie came across as true and not caricaturised (unlike the very recent My Name Is Khan- which attemted at showing the reality and breaking stereotypes but landed up strengthening the existing divide and the stereotypes! Please wirte somethin abt this movie we shall have a good discussion!!) so without further digressing, Slumdog Millionaire was tolerable, believable, watchable and entertaining. It was over hyped and commercialised but ultimately not as much that one could not connect or relate to it. One could. An Indian could :)
