the movie "Slumdog Millionaire" has won four golden globe awards,earned enormous praise from the film critics and then one fine day(22nd feb,2009) it won dat 8 precious Oscars,which s the dream of each & every film maker n the world..even people here in india started celebrating it's success...sum ppl said dat its a memorable day 4 Indian cinema,sum ppl said at last our country has proved it's talent & genuineness in front of the world.but is this movie Slumdog........ really an Indian movie??
now dis has becum truly controversial....may b dis movie has depicted real poverty and real life in India and not only it's shown poverty stricken India but is a tale of hope for millions of those who are happy in spite of being poor. but we should keep in mind that except the actors and musical crew,rest of d crew of the movie r foreigners...the direction,screenplay were completely made by sum foreigners...the producer,co-producers,cinematographer hav no link wid India...here only the plot s India and a few Indian or Indian originated actors are made to act under Danny Boyel's(a famous British director) direction based on story written by simon beafoy...dere s no doubt dat these ppl has done a fabulous job ,bt why should we call Slumdog Millionaire Indian??? for d cast,for the plot or for d music?? i don't think dat its an achievement of Indian cinema ,rather its d success of Danny and other crew members...may be the music is done by A.R.Rehman and as an Indian i only feel proud of Rehman & Pookutty's achievements in the Oscar ,bt nt for d movie...even veteran and legendary film star Amitabh Bachhan thinks dat an outsider’s perspective on his home country has a better chance of commercial success than an Indian one. "It’s just that the SM idea authored by an Indian and conceived and cinematically put together by a Westerner gets creative Globe recognition. The other would perhaps not."-he said it in his blog....so i think we ppl should stop getting elated over SM's achievement,rather we should try something better than this and which can make India purely proud of its success in front of the world...

see, first of all,the story of the cinema is totally the thoughts of the director's.we hav nothing to say about it,what we can talk about is that is it acceptable to us or not.
ReplyDeletesecond thing is foreigeners think proverty is more photogenic than prosperity.so you cann't help this things.
@pramanik-i don hav any problem wid boyle's thoughts or the acceptibility of the movie..why don't we accept a movie which s showing a true picture of the slums in india..what i'm saying we shud take dis movie as a foreigen movie,not an indian and stop calling this movie indian..
