Vikas, I find myself agreeing with you on both counts. Yes indeed. Ghajini is ridiculous, Slumdog is sublime. Do drop by to read my take on Slumdog at: http://anorak75.wordpress.com/2009/01/10/slumdog-millionaire-the-secret-is-out/ I have reviewd Ghajini on my blog, too if you do care to read about that ridiculous mess of a movie!

the detractors, my friend have other problems with it too. As for me, I actually in-the-moment loved it. But as the “hype” grew, I was terribly disillusioned. My arguements aren’t jingoistic but rather socially conscious.

Well said Priyanka!

Amitabh’s concern is out of place! Just imagine how much he would have asked as fee to even act in that film! Hollywood/West has shown its own dirty underbelly in countless films; it was about time it exposed us too!

As for the Shobhaa De query, you may visit her blog and ask this to her

Thanks. Keep visiting (and commenting).

I don’t know why Amitabh ji is worrying so much about India being represented poor in the movie Slumdog, this is not at all the real concern of the film. And as Amitabh ji has said, every country has poor people living out there and I believe that it could be a story of any country developed or developing. I think the movie has actually tried to show that every individual has a capacity to do something extraordinary if given opportunity. As far as the issue of patriotism is concerned Amitabh ji must know that the whole country is celebrating the triumph of the movie in Global awards even in the story of the film, the win of Jamal becomes reason of celebration for the whole country and I think that’s the real feeling of patriotism where you forget about caste and class of your fellow countrymen and celebrate his win as yours.

And Vikas what question did you ask to Shobha De?? Do you really think it was worth answering??

Reply to Prasanth:

Hello Mr. Prashanth,

Thank you for writing.

I have seen only the Hindi version and the original Memento. Yes, songs could have been better; I have read about 15 reviews of the film and many reviewers took Prasoon to task! Slumdog rocks!

Vikas.
