Slumdog Millionaire Sweeps!!!!!

My last post was also about Slumdog Millionaire;about my experience of watching it over here in U.S.

Eight oscars out of the ten nominations is indeed a huge acievement:-Best Film,Best Director,Best Adapted Screenplay,Best Cinematography,Best Fim Editting and of course for Best Sound Mixing,Best Orginal Score and Best Original Song.

Cheers to Rahman and Rasool for bringing Oscars to the Indian soil.U made as feel proud.No words to describe the emotions that we have.

Since we have no cable connections at home,we struck in front of the laptop to look for the sites which live stram the oscar nite.Atlast we got the live streaming of the India Vision Channel in Indian Terminal.Our hearbeats were increasing when each and every award were anounced(as every Indian had on that day).When the award for sound mixing was announced Rasool made us proud being a malayali.Since we were seeing the india vision live we were not able to see properly the awards announced for Best Original Score and Best Original Score.Mr.K.V, a hardcore .ARR fan was pretty disappointed on that.He was forced to be satisfied with the news video clippings shown the next day.

Any ways Cheers to Rahmaan,Rasool and of course for Slum Dog Millionaire!!!!

I am much more hppy since the best song is Jai ho as it is my favourite.....

Slumdog Millionaire - First Movie seen from US

I used to get scolding from Mr. K.V for not watching English movies. According to him watching English movies will help us to improve the command over the English accent. Even though it's a fact usually I avoid watching English movies.

Last week he took me to watch the movie Slumdog Millionaire. I was also interested in watching this movie since it had bagged 10 Oscar nominations and I had already read that it is the movie which describes about the life in Mumbai slums.

The movie depicts the story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year orphan from Mumbai slums who wins 20 million rupees in the show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”.

The movie begins when Jamal Malik is tortured by the policemen in a precinct accused of cheating a game show. Jamal, who has no education and works in a call center serving tea, is close to wining twenty million rupees in the show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” giving precise answers to the questions and raising suspicion of fraud. The police inspector shows the videotape and after each question, Jamal tells parts of his childhood with his brother Salim, his crush for Latika and their fight to survive on the streets to justify each correct answer, guided by his common sense and past experience, and prove his innocence

Special mention to be made is about the music in the movie which keeps it going.Kudos to A.R.Rahman for his wonderful effort. No surprise in bagging 3 Oscar nominations and winning golden globe for the music in the movie.
Overall it is an excellent movie.

My favorite song from the movie is Jai ho and I am posting its video here
