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.
