Slumdog Millionniare is all about dreams and hopes amidst dark realities that millions of lives are interwoven with.
The film is beset with grime and filth..the invisible India. It is about the escapism that we take recourse to and choose to shut our eyes amidst the myth of prosperity and wealth and dreams which find a meaning in abstracts and material that we feel completes us.
The film is special. Not just another rendition packaging India's poverty. I was with my ' gora friend' who was watching this the third time and enjoyed as much even
though making a hatrick of it.
Yes dreams are alive and hopes are reignited..
And yes IT IS WRITTEN.
You racist cow :P
