Slumdog Conquers Oscars :)




           Whatever be your opinion of this much entertaining movie, today is a great day for India.. Just two Oscars till yesterday -- One life time award for that maestro, Satyajit Ray &  some costume related award for Bhanu Athaiya  in Gandhi , Slumdog gave us quite a lot today ...Rahman, Russel , Freida ...  and  as the jewel in the crown - Oscar for the best movie.. 

           What makes this movie special ? Its entertaining , fast paced, at times emotional,  often dramatic...but these attributes are found in quite a lot of movies...  To me, the speciality is that it captures the feelings and imaginations of all Indians..   Its a movie for the masses..Forget any cinematic imperfections..forget over dramatization, this is just something that quite a lot of people could relate to...could identify themselves with .. Cinema is for the audience.. And thats where Slumdog scores :)   


        As the music streams out of my itunes player, I can feel the emotions of many....And the music would stay on for some time :-)

Current Music - Ring Ring Ringa !!!

Jai Ho :)

To me, the winning point of the film is the sheer energy of life portrayed in it. The protagonists go through some of the worst situations possible, but it is still a feel-good film, just because of the energy.
There are a few things we have to learn from the movie.
