First of all my reaction after watching Slumdog Millionaire: "What's new about Rahman here? I can list down some of Rahman's best number and believe me Slumdog falls much below. What's so great about this movie that it was chosen for Oscars? For if you watch it for the first time, it looks like a general Bollywood masala."
"But there's a change and a difference that no Bollywood director would ever think of, except Neeraj Pandey of A Wednesday fame. The movie is fast paced and covers all the aspects of poor boy and the journey of his lifetime."
"Titles are not always correct and they dont bring out everything beneath it. Same is the case with Slumdog... I don't know why people have created a hype over the usage of the word Slumdog in the title or the portrayal of slums in the movie. People who have saw it and then made such comments have then failed to understand the movie and the ones who have not watched it yet....my request..please watch it first."
"As debated and argued across the nation, Slumdog.. is not about Mumbai slums, its not about the underworld, its not about portarying poverty. The movie is all about love and spirit of life and has been shown from an eye of a child who belongs to a slum and happens to be poor. Those who say the movie portrays poverty, i would contradict it by saying that it depicts the intellect that lies beneath the poverty. The movie is a salute to the poverty and not just a sympathy towards the poor. It tells you that poverty only matters with money and living conditions. Poverty does not affect your brain and till you have a working brain, you can figure out the path to move out of the line of poverty."
"Jamal, the main protaganist not just reflects that ambition always pays off but also shows that intellect can develop amidst shit and gun powders. There's vast difference between the rich and poor, rich make their life comfortable by using money whereas the poor use their brains. "
"This movie is up above all the Bolly flicks because bollywood could not come outside underworld dons and their belly dancers, shootouts and camoflaged fight scenes. Slumdog... is above all this because even after covering all this it doesn't deviate from its main goal: the love story and the spirit."
"The game show is just a background that helps the director to reveal the various ups and downs in the life of Jamal. Slums are just a backdrop for some few minutes. Those who argue that slums have been badly portrayed....the movie has only few shots of these slums. Most of the movie is shot on the CST railway station. "
"The best thing about Slumdog...is its Cinematography. The way the scenes shift from one venue to the other.it's marvellous and commendable."
"Guys, just freak on this movie as you watch other Hindi flicks. After all its packaged with some great Thumkas and latka jhatka's. Enjoy and cheer.......and dont follow any hype and speculations. Just follow your heart while you watch a movie."
