Slumdog Millionaire



This movie is a completely director's movie. The story is simple but the treatment is very difficult. The story is about a slum dwelling 18 years old boy who won 2 million Rs. at a GK quiz show called "Who wants to be a Millionaire" without any formal education. He found answer to most of the questions in one or the other incidents of his life and for rest of them he played bravely. The movie bares out some dark secrets of slum life which is really thought-provoking. Man, if you crib about anything in life, watch this movie and you will know how blessed you are.

The movie always keeps you on your toes as in what’s going to happen next. It has very tightly roped-in the flash-back and current scenes together; which makes it really interesting. The way Rang De Basanti had roped in the movie scenes (movie which was being filmed in the movie) and the real life scenes of movie. I hope you got what I want to say?

It was so difficult; had it not been directed so brilliantly, it could have been a complete turndown. AR's background music is superb and makes every scene complete. Must watch film guys, just go for it!!

  1. This film was full of optimism. That's what worked for me big time.

    I've penned down a review of Slumdog in my blog too. Do take a look. Cheers!
