Wow. What else can i say but Amazing?
Slumdog Millionaire is a film based from Vikas Swarup's acclaimed novel Q & A, staring the new age actors of Bollywood; Dev Patel, Anil Kapoor, Madhur Mittal, the oh so beautiful Freida Pinto, and many a indian child living a dream in a gorgeous romantic picture. Directed by Danny Boyle and co-directed by Loveleen Tandan. But let's not forget the absolutely brilliant A.R. Rahman's music giving each scene more passion and intensity than ever thought possible into one film.
The film is a Dramatic Romance, with a sprinkle of comedy, about a boy Jamal Malik's (Dev Patel) and his elder brother Salim Malik (Madhur Mittal) struggle with life in the slums, and injection to a world with no parents and gauranteed home. The film flashes back from Jamal's situation in the present on India's version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and being questioned by police for suspicions of cheating the gameshow, to his uprising of childhood while hustling to survive, to his young adulthood and search for his dream girl Latika (Freida Pinto). Of Course with such a movie there's plenty of drama and desperation before an ideal ending. Slumdog keeps you so far on the edge of the seat you'll fall off atleast three times from the anticipation alone. I Don't know if i've ever seen a movie that ever fit together as well as Slumdog. But in a simple sentence to describe this movie, FU***** Brilliant! Masterpeice! Best movie of 2008. And true unnanimous decision for the Academy Award Best Picture of The Year. A Must buy on March 31, 2009 when released to DVD. Or go see it in theaters now while it's still available Nationwide in the U.S.
MUT rates a 5 out of 5
