Slumdog Millionaire

Slumdog Millionaire....to echo the words of a fellow movie buff....a really good movie after a really long time...

This isn't a movie about slums or poverty or boy-meets-girl...its about destiny...about what's written for each one of us. Its the story of a boy from the Mumbai slums who along with his brother takes on the route of survival...his story is told in flashbacks while he is being interrogated for charges of cheating on the "Who wants to be a millionaire" show. Turns out he isn't cheating...he really does know all the answers...a perfect example of the age-old axiom that life is the best teacher...

The screenplay and the cinematography is par excellence...it does not let the pace of the movie slack even a bit...the to-and-fro effect of the storyline adds the right amount of zing to the script...the music is simply awesome...hats off to Rehman for delighting us yet once again...he truly is a master of music...do get all the songs of the movie (esp Gangsta rap)....

To sum it up....a must watch!!! A multiple must-watch even :)
