Slumdog Millionare!

It has made us all proud that Indian cinema is getting recognition on the global stage and sweeping almost all prestigious awards across earth is not a small feat. But the only thing that nettles me is that the crew of the ship was Indian but the captain and the owner of the cruise were brits...

Taking no credit away from Danny Boyle the director of the film and the global production houses who made this possible I would have been really happy if some1 from India depicted India be it the poor India, the growing India or my India but I am really at peace that no credit was taken away from the lowest possible people who made this a Magnum Opus!

Watching all the cast and crew of the movie at Kodak theater was gr8 and watching them taking the golden trophies and being recognized was even better.

This film has got accolades from evry1 around the globe for the sole reason that we all can identify with it. The story of a slum kid making it big and all the love angle attached with it is definitely not a new plot but as the way the story has been told is awesome and everything about it just adds to the perfection of the movie.

The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost.

Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out. At the heart of its storytelling lies the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love.

The masala of an Indian curry added by a foreign chef is the twist in the tale, the gangsters, the dances, the swearing/foul slum language used makes it a must have DVD and qualify it as a feel good, inspirational, family and an OSCAR WINNING movie...
