What a film ! Truly amazing to watch it. Mindblowing performances. I loved the kids who played the brothers Salim and Jamal. The script is awesome. If you wanna watch Mumbai through the eyes of an average foreign tourist, go watch this film. Some of the scenes are so touching especially the one where Salim jumps into the shithole to see his fave actor, Amitabh Bachchan and the one where the eyes of the urchin is gouged out by the mafia don. Danny Boyle can teach some of our directors how to make a film.
Of course it was not without the usual controversies what with Amitabh overshooting his mouth and later issuing a statement that his post was misunderstood. Some people criticised the film saying it portrayed India as a poverty stricken nation.
Cmon guys, everybody has the right to freedom of expression in a democracy, Amitabh included. So lets treat this as pure entertainment and not make a hullabaloo out of this. Films are supposed to make us forget the present. What what is being done is to create a mountain out of a molehill.
Anyways, the film is a truly fantastic journey for die hard movie fan ! Enjoy this one !!
