What the fuck were they thinking with the colouring? It was awful. I also thought that the depiction of poverty, although correct - I mean we have all seen Salaam Bombays of the world too - but Boyle didn't do a good job of its entirety. The godawful dialogues were a turn off.<BR/><BR/>Other than that, I always wonder what's with Anil Kapoor's accent. Any answers to where he got it from?Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09469564318863746009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20130684.post-58172975445107118612009-02-02T10:40:00.000+05:302009-02-02T10:40:00.000+05:30@Tanu:) Rich people don't carry cash.

The hype is because of Danny Boyle and also partly because the west still think or would like to belive that India is all about poverty and cattles on the road. From what I've heard or seen...looks like a pure Hindi masala movie to me with good direction, cinematography and music. One thing is for sure, just replace Danny with an Indian director and the west would never bother about it forget the Academy nominations and the Golden Globes.Sanjithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16393541833434652577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20130684.post-58962029949328788912009-01-31T21:57:00.000+05:302009-01-31T21:57:00.000+05:30Though i lyked the movie.. and was really touched ...Though i lyked the movie.. and was really touched @ some points... but then i was lil disappointed 2 some points... but again i would add that the direction was good... i personaly feel not worth a movie 2 get an oscar.. but it was a good movie..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20130684.post-65356554883759983562009-01-31T00:22:00.000+05:302009-01-31T00:22:00.000+05:30ooh... that way... but to be honest...I did not kn...ooh... that way... but to be honest...<BR/><BR/>I did not know myself...<BR/>I thought it was Lincoln !!!!!<BR/>Never seen a $100 bill :) I guess. :)) ha ha <BR/><BR/>But this movie my GK certainly made an improvement :)I amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14768569924039692072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20130684.post-18087401323053207002009-01-30T10:19:00.000+05:302009-01-30T10:19:00.000+05:30@SkeetsWell said...

It's not - it's made by a British film-maker and is shot in India with Indians acting in it. I wonder if it would have got this kind of attention if an Indian had directed it.Kanchanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259575431205065402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20130684.post-1193335108760699212009-01-29T04:02:00.000+05:302009-01-29T04:02:00.000+05:30Jo mujhe likhna thaa, par words nahin mil rahe the...Jo mujhe likhna thaa, par words nahin mil rahe they, toone likh diya... thank you hai !!!<BR/><BR/>I liked the movie... par I did not really see as a depiction of what happens in India... <BR/><BR/>I was surprised that people objected to it as an incorrect representation of India, and was more surprised at people who countered it saying that if this is not India, then what is? very idiotic and close sighted I must say! <BR/><BR/>There is a lot more to any country than what a movie can show, and specially a country like India.. bekaar ka halla... recession hai na, khali baithe hain sab ke sab.. kuch to chahiye shor machane ko !!!~ ॐ ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/14443242533831250639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20130684.post-56302197324666609402009-01-28T20:50:00.000+05:302009-01-28T20:50:00.000+05:30:) @ the post script.
