Slumdog millionaire happened to be my first movie in 2nd sem.listening to its preview,i had large expectations from it. But i was largely disapointed.Some may say that the movie was based on reality, but it was an exaggeration and nothing more than that.Director tried his best to exploit India's poverty and misery and in future he may be rewarded by an oscar.It seems that more you focus on slums of india ,more are your chances of bagging some honours.An article by Malay choudhary(THE SUNDAY INDIAN)was excellent.His critical thoughts on this movie were worth to think upon .This movie is tarnishing India's image of being future superpower .In marathi there is a proverb ,"JHAKALI MUTH SAWWA LAKHACHI".It means sometimes it is better to keep secrecy.We all are aware of our nation's third world status.we have idea about our problems.We all should unite together to find out a solution.But at the same time ,we should protest if someone is making money by selling our problems.In this respect i admire media restriction imposed in Russia,China etc.
Even in this case there are some positives to be taken from this otherwise stupid movie.Lets do some efforts, so that no one will get chance to direct such movies in future.
