SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE :)

Flashback... 23rd January 2009, d official release date in India... I ws waitin lyk a crazy felly 4 dis muvie 2 hit d moviehalls .. n after all d accolades n critical acclaim it had garnered across d globe, complemented wid reviews 4m my frnzz [ Itzz d harsh truth bt yup,, each of moi frnd hd already seen d muvie on net or pirated dvd.....Bt i sumhw resisted dos pirated versions... m proud of moiself 4 dat.:):)]....d xcitement ws truly v high.... Finally i managed 2 gt tickets 4 FDFS[ trust meh, d xcitement of watchin a muvie FDFS is unparralel]...
D muvie started .. KBC backdrop, Jamal in d hotseat.. A question flashes on d screen n den d story beautifully unfolds... a breathless, exciting story, heartbreaking and exhilarating at the same time... For d rest of d story bttr go 2 yr nearest theatres n watch d muvie :P.[n beware!!! dunn act like a jerk 2 watch d pirated versions.....long live anti piracy:):)].....

By now[ n m dead sure bout it], d question bustlin in yr mind would b " Y d hell shud 1 go n c d muviee.... wotzz so special in d muvie"?..... well den, lemme give yo 5 reasons as 2 y yo shud go n watch it...

1. The movie is simply a " STUNNER" .. It doesn't happen often, but wen it does, look out: a movie dat rocks n rolls, dat transports, startles, delights, shocks, seduces. A movie dat is, quite simply, great.A terrific yarn, one so engrossing n surprising dat d nature of d story's structure -- each question Jamal gets asked on the show corresponds wid a traumatic or momentous moment 4m his childhood -- never feels lyk a contrived framing device. Lyk al good fairy tales, dis outsize celebration of perseverance n moral triumph contains within it a deeper idea -- in dis case, d relative nature of wot we think we know, n wot's worth knowing at ol . No doubt Dickens himself wud approve. ......

2. D movie has d best Ensembled cast ever possible.... watch it 4 itzz "superb characterization"[ Til date, D only movie i kno of wid d bst charecterization is "sholay"] ......Rite 4m d supatalented kids [ Rmbr d 3 Muskeeteers n d Taj Mahal scene...... GOsh dis kiddos r supastars... amazingly awsum....muahhhzzzz......kudos yo guys!!!!!] 2 d actors potrayin d trio's adolescent n teen days..... Every 1 in d movie has manged 2 deliver powerpacked performances.... Driven by fantastic energy n a torrent of vivid images of India old n new, dives headfirst in2 something greater dan a subculture - d enormous unchronicled culture of India's mega-slums - n achieves eva more sweeping impact. Dev Patel is sensational[ I Luvd him :)]..... D characters wil remain wid yo even afta yo step out of d movie hall.... BUt undoubtedly d real star of d film is not a person but a city, d vertiginous, exciting, massively overcrowded "maximum city" of Mumbai.

3. Watch it 4 " Danny Boyle"..... Itzz his fullest, most satisfying work... n bein an audience-pleaser, Boyle has been nothing if not bold wid dis film. He's dared 2 use so many venerable movie elements..... itzz dizzying, dared us 2 say we won't be moved or involved, dared us 2 say we r too hip 2 fall 4 tricks...... Boyle, in his premier style fills "Slumdog" wid ebullient energy n ceaseless invention. D entire film has d glibness of a music video...yet Boyle has successfully managed 2 mak dire poverty seem glossy. On 1 hand, d is environment of Dickensian, almost hallucinatory contrasts between rich n poor, good n evil feels perfect for Danny Boyle.

4. A.R .RAHMAN: Yup guys, his music forms an integral part of d film n every heart beat of yrs wil b in sync wid d background score ... Truly Rahman roxx,,,, All I cn say 2 him is "JAI HO"!!!!

5. Last but not d least , watch d movie cuzz i recommend it 2 yo :P:P:P;P

Nw Letzz go 2 d flip side , Wanna kno y yo shud not c d moviee?? Well personally i dint find even a single negative trait in it..... But many of mah frnzz had different opinions......Few said D muvie is too grim, too much of poverty is shown, India shud not hv been potrayed dis way on a global platform, D muvie is not dat extraordinary, D muvie is doin well in d west cuzz west lyks 2 c only dis poor dejected side of India..n bla bla bla..... Well. since ours is d biggest democracy n every1 has a freedom of speech , I guess i lent an ear 2 every1s reviews , but i dunn support der opinions...... cuzz i loved d muvie..

For moi itzz an almost ridiculously ebullient Bollywud-meets-Hollywud concoction--n one of d rare "feel-good" movies dat actually makes yo feel good, as opposed 2 merely jerked around. Lyk Mumbai, Slumdog pulses n throbs with raw, unadulterated lyf n d hope 4 a better Bombay, 2 day. Itzz brilliant. Despite itz elements of brutality, dis is a buoyant hymn 2 lyf, n a movie to celebrate. ..... n Itzz not dat only poverty has been showcased in d moviee..Itzz d reality......May b we wil nt b able 2 relate wid it cuzz we stay in our plush South Mumbai apartments...yet dat doesnt changes d truth.... Slums exist every where in d world....n Dharavi is as much a real part of mumbai as Nariman Point..... so y shy away 4m it????... Rathr ..we shud stop cribbin ova it n do sumthin 4 d development of d slums.... Treat d ppl outta der dem wid humanity....n letzz make a difference in der lives...Dey deserve 2 live well....BT dat surely is wot we INDIANS gtta do...... Also if ne1 thinks dat Boyle made d muvie wid an intention 2 show d poor abysmal India, ..Dude yo surely need 2 grease up yr rusted brains cuzz yo hv essentially missd outta on d essence of d movie...... D no bull honesty of d muvie hits yo hard , itss d real deal. Dunn we frown wen we c d beggars at d signals or in d local trains, n aint we responsible 4 d garbage around us?... JSs giv it a thought... Itzz in our hands hw we wanna our country 2 b perceived by d firangs.....Itzz easy 2 point a finger at odrs , bt we shud olways rmbr dat while doin dat , 4 fingers r facing yo!!!!! SO Rathr dan blamin Boyle.,, V shud strive hard n vow 2 make a difference 2 our developin economy.... As BJP puts it :INDIA SHININ"!!!!:)

To sum it up, I wud say dat I genuinely feel dat evry1 2 c d muvie.... N well Oscars or no Oscars..., who cares?? .. D movie is already a winner!!..I genuinely dunn believe in d oscar hype...... I luv our muvies ,, [eva if dey include singin n dancin in d rains.... itzz so mch fun :P:P:P......Hollywud...yo truly need 2 learn dis 4m us guys... at least dis cn add bit of our classy spicy masala 2 yr borin flicks!! :P]]....n oscars r no parameters 2 jugde our masala muvies........ ! n well 4 d ratin dis is wot NEW YORK TYMS says" 4 stars simply aren't enough for Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire, which just may be the most entertaining movie I've ever labeled a masterpiece in these pages. "[thnx NYT 4 d ratin .......bt we already knew dat.. we dunn need d ratings neways!! ...rite guys???]....... So wot r yo waitin 4?? Book yr tickets , grab d popcorn n njoy "SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE"......[n do tel moi hw it ws!!!!!!!
