This is easily the best movie ive EVER seen!!!! and trust me: ive seen some GREAT movies in my lifetime!!! first of all, the story! it is simply TOUCHING! u cant help but cry at the end of the film and just clap for such a BEAUTIFUL story [and the execution of it]! Now, to the actors! ALL of them r SUPERB! EVERY single actor puts in the PERFECT performance!...[from the 9 total actors that portray each of the main 3 characters: Jamal, Salim, & Latika to Anil Kapoor to Irfan Khan to Saurabh Shukla to Mahesh Manjrekar...AWESOMEEEE!!!!] I really cant single out just one actor...they were all AMAZING!!! Arguably, the biggest highlight of the film [along wit the acting & story] is its direction [by Danny Boyle]! i remember watching Sunshine and thinking "what a boring frickin movie!"...but what a revelation he has been with this effort...u dont get bored for a SINGLE MOMENT! [maybe some of that credit goes to the editor]...FANTASTIC is the only word to describe it! but sorry guys...maybe thats not even the biggest highlight of the film as A.R. Rahman's music is yet another contender! all the bacground scores and the tracks on the OST r something to really cherish from Rahman! my personal favorite has to Latika's Theme as it made me cry in the end when Jamal finally achieves his destiny [Latika]! It's one MAGICAL piece of work!!! all the other songs r also FABULOUS!!! in all, this is one film that EVERYONE should watch AT LEAST once [especially if yur indian]!!! It'll make u cry out loud and it will also make u laugh out loud...while keeping u at the edge of yur seat at the same time! how many movies do u kno that can do all of that?! this is honestly a ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME experience! if u havent seen it yet, GO WATCH IT...NOW!!!! I would like to add one thing: All these bollywood films that we make practically go unnoticed by the audiences of the rest of the world [especially the US]...here, a white guy [Danny Boyle] makes an UNFORGETTABLE and ASTONISHING Hollywood film wit an indian story, an indian cast, and indian locations...and it is being considered the frontrunner for the Oscar Best Film Award!!!! Does this say anything at all about how bollywood should make its damn films?!?! I'll leave it here for u guys to answer!

After watching Bakwaas movies such as Ghajini, Welcome, Sing is King (absolutely Bakwaas), Golmaal Returns and Chandni Chowk To China this is truly an outstanding and inspiring movie to watch. Beautifully directed and well written. To those people who are saying this move does not represent real India I suggest they should visit India and one of those slum areas. This movie portrays real life and not Disneyland, but doses it in way which makes us understand the social divide we have in India. Where minority controls the wealth & power and majority live below poverty line, and let’s not forget about child labour. Is this movie depressing? NO. It show’s us a part of India which I am certain no body is proud of, and tries to explain it by bringing this controversial issue to public which we all like to ignore/oversee. At list this movie is trying to portray less privileged humans who don’t have daddy’s express account or mummy’s chicken biryani to eat everyday. Name me one good Bollywood movie which tried to bring the class/wealth division to the screen without implanting the concept of Romeo and Juliet. I am sorry to disappoint people but this movie doesn’t have random song every five minutes nor does it have sexed up vulgar women’s with tits out. What it does have it tells the story of two brothers struggling to survive through any means possible. How society exploits them and in the end what it makes each of them. This movie is essentially about how people try to survive through hardship and struggle and still have hope in the end, and how you should never give up. You will not be disappointed when the movie ends. Regardless of what it portrays I have found this movie to be extremely well made inspiring and one of the best I have seen. It has defiantly moved me and also has inspired me enough to believe in hope again. It is ultimately for us (Indian) to change our country for its betterment. It is easy to criticise something from the warmth of your bedroom, but it is another to actually help someone in need. P.S. And when was the time you actually helped one of those slum kids with descent food or clothes? Ask yourself that question before making any kind of criticism. Caution/warning: This movie requires some USE of something between YOUR two ears called BRAIN. “The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.†- Winston Churchill
