I finally found an oppurtunity to see Danny Boyle's last movie Slumdog Millionaire. Since there were many positive critics and Danny Boyle was one of my favorite directors with his hit movie Trainspotting, i had great expectations before watching the movie. I guess because of these facts i found it a little overrated. But nevertheless I recommend this movie to everyone.
This movie is already announced as the movie of the year by many movie critics with its screenplay, editing and most of all never slowing tempo. Slumdog Millionaire won 4 Golden Globes including Best Motion Picture and best director categories. It has another 26 wins from different festivals like British Independent Film Awards, Chicago Film Critics Association Awards, Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards and National Board of Review.
Slumdog Millionaire tells the story of an orphan from the Mumbai slums who is one question away from winning the jackpot on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" when he is arrested on suspicion of cheating. The screenplay is adapted from the novel of Vikas Swarup, which is considered as a good piece of literarture as well. I should mention that the original sound track of the movie composed by A.R. Rahman, has some cool tracks.

Nice Movie with Indian Stars
There were many questions left in my mind after i watched this movie.News channels were cheering that a indian movie won an oscar.
But is this really an Indian movie.Does hiring An Indian actor or actress make it Indian? Or shooting in India?OR the music director being in Indian.
the fact is that the director is not indian;producer is not indian.and the money earned will not be by an indian.so i just want you to open your eyes. The fact is that the foreign producer wanted a movie with indian characters, indian background and an indian lifestyle be portrayed to the whole world,and earn the viewership of the largest country in terms of population. And more than to target the people of Indian Blood all around the globe. This new way of thinnking might change the nature of movies released in the coming decade as India commands the highest number of viewers all over the world.
Cool music by A R Rehman .. nice movie . .
