Slumdog Media maniacs

I am planning to offer a sanity tonic to the Oscar panel members. I am sure most of you agree with me. I happened to watch the Slumdog millionaire, after repeatedly getting infected by the "Golden globe" hype by the media. I came out and wondered what's the movie all about. It started off with portraying bombay slum life, communal riots, social evils and then suddenly took a turn towards a love story. The director Danny Boyle's derogatory approach towards India itself is upsetting. It is ironical that we agitate when an Indian director does it and honor the same when a foreign director does it. Slumdog is an abusive word in its Hindi translation "Gali ka kuthha". If he is so interested in showcasing his skills, there are many places in other parts of the world like New Orleans, etc which might be of a great subject on "Who wants to be a millionaire?" for him. Why doesn't he do that? Well, everybody knows why.

Rehman's himself might know that his composition is definitely is not worth an Oscar ( I still believe Oscar is an prestigious award). There are many movies in which he played better and worthwhile music. I would have been happy had he admitted that. Errrr, Why would he do that? :-)
I definitely would like to appreciate the stupendous efforts put in by the media folks to create hype around the movie. I did not have any desire to watch the movie for the second time. My dear friends, please stop encouraging such mediocre(Yes, it was a mediocre movie) movies to get any recognition. Indian directors are equally or may be much better than any foreign directors.
However, the only good thing is, the movie gave break to a lot of blooming talent.

Well, to him, his own!
