'Why Slumdog fails to move me'
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
What I feel for this movie isn't just admiration, it's mad love.
Uplifting ,"Poverty Porn", Breathtaking, "Slum Chic" - all terms used by various critics in describing the same movie. Has ruffled the feathers of Bollywood's movie icon, Amitabh Bachchan. Well, if the critics have such dramatically opposite opinions then it means the movie is really worth watching.
To my American Friends who ask me, "Do things like this really happen in India ? Is India really like this?"
My answer, " This is as much India as 'Die Hard' is USA".
Part Real , Part Director's imagination.
I will give it the highest accolade most Indian viewers give to a movie they really like - "Paisa Vasool"- got my money's worth!!
