Though i remained glued to the TV throughout the season of awards but didn't get the chance to watch any of them live, so just watched it over the news. Slum Dog Millionaire came as a shock to me for sure, because to me what seemed just an average movie, contributed to India's pride today. Everyone was overjoyed when the Slum Dog team were winners of specific categories, and it was the day the Indians anticipated with all theirs hearts when the nominations were announced. Of course, we are proud to have great musicians and lyricists(great talent).. and everywhere across the nation, headlines flashed, "India's first Oscar" "Rahman creates history" and it was true that India's awakening desire had come true..
My point of view, which is too late to mention about i know, but its just mine.. and it is that the movie was directed by an international director which makes the film a Hollywood and not a Bollywood flick. I guess, i just tried to figure out few main reasons which could have contributed towards the films award, i mean several awards, because it wasn't nominated in a foreign category but instead it was a very different Hollywood film compared to the usual ones. It was so very obvious the international audience got to watch something they hadn't watched before, like Indian masala.. they liked it, and the movie was a hit!! They even liked the music which is not so Hollywood, because you don't get to see dancing and singing in Hollywood.. more over, an insight into India's slums.. who wouldn't get teary eyed at such an emotional storyline.. All these ingredients cooked into one meal caused the endless possibilities that make Slum Dog Millionaire invincible!
Coming up(from time to time)- more of my takes on the film and its stars..
