Movie Review - Slumdog Millionaire

It's a Hollywood movie but for me seems to be Bollywood type movie. Slumdog is in fact a movie that used to be made very often in Bollywood about a poor boy that falls in love with a girl whose worth is measured by her body. But he can see into her soul and knows that they are meant to be together and will move heaven and earth to make it so.

Now after updating a review on Ghajini where, Aamir Khan is a man who lives each day fifteen minutes at a time. A trauma victim with a rare form of short term memory loss, Khan's Sanjay Singhania wakes up every morning in a world he does not recognize and reminds himself to solve the mystery surrounding his last real memory - the voice of his girlfriend whispering a name into his ear.

But In Slumdog Millionaire, young Jamal lives a life in the Mumbai slums a ugly face of the city, where he have seen so much things in very early part of life which helped him to get a millions of rupees in the end. The only thing he knows for sure is that he and his childhood sweetheart were meant to be.

In Bollywood terms, they're both stories of men who've gone crazy in love.

In Ghajini's Sanjay isn't just trying to find out what happened before the world went blank: his need for revenge is a compulsion that simply cannot lead to closure of any kind. It gives him no pleasure; he has to actively remind himself of its very existence to remember its importance.

Where in Slumdog's it's a completely opposite Jamal is the little boy whose remembers everything that has happened to him in excruciating detail in his early part of life and ultimately it fell in his advantage. (it fascinated me that how one can remember so much of his childhood).

I would like to appreciate director's vision and imagination, he has an astonishing ability to capture a realm of the city, some of the scenes are unforgettable, kid's playing in Airport area, Amitabh Bachhan, Riots, soul searching, etc. I don't know enough about the filmmaking process to know whether this stems from his technical brilliance but it's something open secret of the city. There is one scene where LORD RAM watching a riot of 1992, I don't know how many of you felt that but that scene had very deep message. The violence in this movie is terrible, and it becomes all the more horrendous because you feel it more than you see it.

Its great that Hollywood movie captured what even bollywood movie find difficult to captured an interim part of the city.

I liked the role of Anil Kapoor, but Irfan khan has done great play. There is something in movie which makes you to think something about this society.

Ending song was completely waste but it was movie to watch.

It's a movie where you feel it more than you see it.
