I love you, I had liked the concept but I also knew that the whole premise is heart wrenching & thus can understand your crying :-)<BR/><BR/>As far as Slumdog is concerned am yet to watch it, may be this weekend. A fren has gifted me the book 'Q & A' & have started reading it and am enjoying it (though it is an average book) so I hope the movie will for sure be fantastic.<BR/><BR/>As far as criticsm of the movie is it is so typical of us Indians. There is one group which is ready to criticise the movie & then there is another group which is ready to calim the accliamed movies as ours. I remember the hooppolah which was created when "The WHite Tiger" had won an award. We tend to criticise the achievers & love to hide our shortcomings...Smitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06342538308099137615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213164739660434954.post-80571480933879392722009-02-02T09:11:00.000+05:302009-02-02T09:11:00.000+05:30Amol - lol!! :DOh, I havent read Calcuta Chromosom...Amol - lol!! :D<BR/>Oh, I havent read Calcuta Chromosome' - shall pick it up.

Rahman's music made the whole idea even more effective. But understand, that the movie was not only about what happens in Mumbai, it was the portrayal of a poor boy's life which starts from a slum in India. Mumbai was just a location for that. All the poverty related stuff they have shown happens in many other places in our country.<BR/>As much we love the city we have grown up in and I have especially seen this in all people from Mumbai, we must realize that these issues are national. Make sure that this doesn't remind you just of your own 'city', it should remind you of the whole country and the issues it is facing.Gunjan Indrayanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08460246687640427408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213164739660434954.post-61682412852806062362009-01-28T22:58:00.000+05:302009-01-28T22:58:00.000+05:30Aplologies first, reading your blog after long tim...Aplologies first, reading your blog after long time...
