Slumdog delighted India

Slumdog Millionaire overwhelmed with 10 Oscar nominations and country is now in euphoric mood. Indians are thrilled with the film's success. Have you seen it boss? Its really cool man. The bitter truth is, Slumdog Millionaire could only have been made by westerners. The talent exists in India for such movies: much of it, like the brilliant actor Irrfan Khan, contributed to this film. But Bollywood producers, fixed with making flimsy films about the lives of the middle class, will never throw their weight behind such projects. Like Bachchan, they are too blind to what India really is to deal with it. Exception Madhur Bhandarkar's Traffic signal. While watching this film I found this bit similar to Madhur Bhandarkar's Traffic Signal (not the script but overall).If you ask me, I will give more points to Traffic Signal than slumdog for sure. Then may be you argue with me saying how realistic films is they showed right ? but look at any of Madhur Bhandarkar's creation's either its his débutant Chandani Bar or the recently launched Fashion. and you never forget about the Page 3. Don't you think these are more realistic. Don't you think 'ye Oscar ke takkar ka banda hai?' I think language is the barrier in these cases, he never launched his films worldwide in English. Well let it be I keep my view with myself.
I am really really very happy for A. R. Rehman, no one doubts about his talent, he is simply awesome!! Not only for Slumdog but for all.This guy can work out with any kind of instruments old new doesn't matter for him. He went few years back in history for Lagaan and even more than 200 years for Jodha Akbar(you never forget kwaja mere kwaja).Even with all his talent, he had never won an international award of such standing before. It had been a long time in coming, but he deserve it. Well done man well done!! keep it up.

Happy Republic Day to all. Jai Ho !!! ;)
