Slumdog Millionaire

It was nice to watch a good movie after a long time.
I liked every aspect of the movie. After reading a few negative reviews on the portrayal of the slums of Mumbai, i started forming opinions on the movie . But after watching the movie, I feel the director has done a stupendous work . Enough of watching karwa chauth and mehendi scenes , time for some change. Non-Indian directors have taken better films on Indian themes than Indian directors.

Hats off to the crew... wish you good luck for the oscars ...
