A recent watch - Slumdog Millionaire, is creating quite a controversy.
I liked the movie, but nevertheless I truly believe we have produced far better ones. However, the director has done a fair job by knitting the pieces together and the direction of a few scenes are captivating. It opens the eyes of many a people, living in a world of shadow and a gossamer of illusion, that threatens to fall with with a single stroke. The movie has created an outcry from many sectors, who either badger the name of the movie, claiming that it is demeaning and some say it desecrates the picture of our beloved country. I do not see how that is true when in reality 60% of the people in India are living beneath the poverty line. If they really care, than let us see them visiting the largest slum in the world and help the poor. These people who cry about, writing blaring blogs, that no one has the right to create such an image, are the biggest hypocrites of all. Each day is a reminder to them and every single day of travel will show the poverty on the streets. If they really care, they would reflect on what stark reality the movie reveals and work towards something that can make a difference.
Vande Mataram!
