Why you should watch Slumdog Millionaire...

Winning 8 out of 10 nominations for Academy Award - including Best Picture and Best Director, the story itself is fantastic - full with colors of life - sad, hardship, love, brotherhood, happy, funny, cruelty, kindness, sex, friendship....

The storyline is simple....a kid who living in a slum, enter a millionaire contest....and was one step away to win 20 million rupees....However, he was taken into police custody and was tortured and accused as a cheater. Logically, how can a kid from slum - with no education and employed as a tea boy have an answer to all those questions

Easy answer, you don't have to be book smart or work smart to be a millionaire.....it's call Street smart...!!

All the questions....was tag along with the hardship of his life....living in a slum, dead mother on a riot, being homeless, involved in child beggar syndicate, living on top of a train, pretending to be a tourist guide and be a pickpocket.... a true life experiences that he cannot easily forget. All their suffering, all that they have to gone through....and they managed to survive....!!

Under the protection of his crook brother - Salim and a friendship cum lover with Latika....true scenery and view of India - the poverty, all the syndicate - prostitute and gangsterism and all the crime -it's real and a colourful journey....a life taking experience

Many people give a lot of critics on this film especially from Indians, it's like a huge humiliation for India ..... As for me..hey, it is something real out there, something that you should not be proud off from your nations....but people live in poverty, kids are left neglected , crime rate is higher.....open up your eyes - do something and help this people.... don't have to be shame....It's a reality. Do something to help the people of your country.....

Bottom line....i like this movie..it teaches me to be grateful...

baiklahhh..dengan segera aku akan tengok cerita ini...

just watched it last nite..great movie i would say. something different. n i agree with u, the ppl should not feel humiliated by it cos it's the reality..at least the world is aware of those problems and hopefully something can be done..

It would be nice if Instablog tried to make reviews like this at least readable by correcting the English. This may not be written by a person very proficient in English, but Instablig, I think should take responsibility for the grammar and content they post. Its Terrible.

tak suka tak suka tak suka. aku suka lagu ending je!

teringin nak tengok...tapi takde peluang lagi nak tengok...

sinopsis macam best...
