This is the First Movie Review on my Blog!!I am taking up SlumDog Millionaire,Much Hyped Up Movie.Winner of four Golden Globes and Nominated for 10 Oscars.
Its a Rags to Riches Story set in the Background of the Mumbai Slums.How Young Jamal who Grows up along with his brother Salim and his love interest Latika ends up in a KBC programme and is on the verge of winning 2Crores is the Storyline.Does he win the 2 Crores?Does he join hands with his childhood love interest Latika?Seems like a old Wine in an older bottle Story but the ScreenPlay is of Top Notch;Seldom You get Bored;Moves in a Fast Pace with Twists n Turns. Now Does the Movie Live up to its Hype?The Answer is No!!If you Expected Another Life is Beautiful or a Beautiful Mind or even American Beauty its Not half Inspiring as any of those Movies.SlumDog is a typical Bollywood Entertainer exposing some wounds in the Society!!You will Enjoy this Movie If you have No Expectations. The Movie does have some violent Scenes n Some Hindi Gaali(which would be censored in Hindi Version).

The Movie does have some violent Scenes n Some Hindi Gaali(which would be censored in Hindi Version).There is a Scene which interested Me,one in which American tourists Rescue Jamal n Salim from some of his Indian Conterparts.These American Tourists help them uttering the Dialogues "Now Let Me Show you America"!! (As if America is Clean n Pure) Western Media Depicting Indians as Snake Charmers,Uncivilised n SlumDogs as in this Movie may not go down well with some of our People!!Remember America has got Uncivilised People as well n Dogs too!! :-)
The Verdict is SlumDog is a Watchable Movie not a Must Watch unless you got lots of time to Kill.
