Slumdog - The real Indian slum


Slumdog Millionaire is one of the best movies I have seen in recent times. It shows the exact life of a real Indian slum and the difficulties he has faced in the life. The movie goes on like this . A slum from Mumbai(Jamal) participates in the “Who wants to become a millionare” and goes on to win the show. While the squeeze is put on Jamal we are inundated with flashbacks to his childhood to see how he came to his current predicament. As a child Jamal grew up with his brother Salim and mother in the slums of India and the boys underwent harsh treatment largely sometimes because of his faith. Unspeakable horrors confront both boys and those images and pent-up fears/hostilities have a clear impact on their teen years and adult lives. Love, romance and lust also enter into the equation as a young orphan named Latika seems to leave an indelible impression on the lads, and older grown ups as she ages. Full of violence and tense moments Slumdog Millionaire comes up a winner, turning out to be one of the best movies of the year. And to add flavour to the movie the background score is also good. The movie is worth a watch in theatre. So please spare some time and watich this movie in theatre as soon as possible.
