I think this movie is simply beautiful! good direction, story, and loved the music.. but acting could've been lil better in my opinion. I'm glad that it snatched all 4 golden globes that it deserves and glad that it got 10 nomination for oscar. I don't understand why some indians have problem with this movie. Its the fact that "WE" can't accept the reality....that slums, poverty, they all exist in India! You can't blame the director or anyone who was part of this movie because they decided to make a movie based on FREAKING BOOK!!!! oh yeah amitabh can complain how they portrayed the slums in India in this movie, but DOES HE DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT? NO!! BUT SURE GO AHEAD AND FREAKING COMPLAIN COZ SOME ONE DECIDED TO MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT INDIA, THAT PORTRAYS HOW SOME PART OF THE INDIA IS.
SOME PEOPLE CAN JUST JUMP INTO CONCLUSION ABOUT "WHITES" BEING RACIST...YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE LEARNED FROM MY PAST LIFE...IS THAT WE INDIANS ARE THE BIGGEST RACIST IN THIS WORLD! WE ARE FREAKING RACIST WITHIN OUR OWN RACE!
FYI...THE DIRECTOR PLACED THE MONEY IN A TRUST FOR THE THREE KIDS AND TO BE RELEASED TO THEM WHEN THEY TURN 16, AND THE PRODUCTION COMPANY SET UP AN AUTORIKSHAWS TO TAKE THEM TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY!!! SURE MR. AMITABH, COMPLAIN ALL YOU WANT. HAVE YOU DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT? PROBABLY NOT, SO COMPLAIN ALL YOU WANT!
all those who didn't like this movie, its ur freaking opinion that doesn't matter to anyone but you...its not gonna matter to dev, danny, freida, anil.
all those who haven't seen this movie, go watch it for yourself and rate it, if you don't like it, its your opinion, and if you like it is still your opinion.
i love it and i would recommend it!
