Slumdog Millionaire Movie Trailer-HD QUALITY!!! (2008) - Watch the best video clips here
I know I was the one who was opposing the idea some days back but to be very honest even i am loving it now. Like it or not Slumdog Millionaire has been a run on success in the Oscars this year. The movie won 8 oscars with as many as three coming to people from the Indian origin. These were A R Rahman, song writer Gulzar and sound engineer Resul Pookutty. Prior to this only three Indians have won the oscars. Meera Nair, Satyajit Ray and Bhanu Atthiayah. So this means that thanks to the movie the Indian presence on the oscar statuette has doubled in one shot. What this success means is a more profound presence of Indian artists on the international arena. I think this could mean a great deal for the recession struck Hindi film industry. With global exposure and international audience to cater to, our film makers will have a wide array of choices to potray in content rather than just doing the regular song and dance routines, we are so used to.
Take for example the case of Slumdog Millionaire itself. The movie draws its plot from the book QnA by Vikram Swaroop. The movie tells the story of a young boy who goes through multiple hardships to win the love of his life. In creation it is the exposes the reality of the slum life in our country...... The movie progresses through various stages eventually with the triumph of hope and the viewer in a a sea of scmaltz. What is important is not the scatalogical tale of misery and pain, but the will to win over all of it.
Pitted as the favourite at the oscars this year Slumdog Millionaire did justice to all expectations. The oscar ceremony was rife with the chants of "Jai Ho", reiterating the mass appeal the movie has generated. The Director's and all other casts' were exceedingly justified in the huge success the movie has garnered among the critics and the masses alike. First a bevy of Golden Globes and BAFTAS and now the Oscars the movie has surely had a dip in history. Here's to a many more like Slumdog "Jai Ho".
