Whatever you say, poverty still looms in our country. Even though facades of sophistication try to shadow them they still raise their ugly heads.Having said that let it be known that a third world murky underbelly exists and thrives even in the most developed nations. Just that this film got a global recognition and limelite fell on the wrong part of the depiction.. See Satya by RGV for more details ;)
As one of the mumbaikars pointed out "a breathing snapshot of the city that is always stripped of its warmth when depicted in the news".
The movie 'Slumdog Millionaire' vividly describes the harsh reality faced by the slum dwellers of Dharawi representing the 'greater' part of India. This particular scene clipping above will say it all.. Will leave it for the reader to ponder.
The child artists have done extremely well, Rahman's O saya depicts the escape of the 'mumbai local' to escape into world that they yearn for. Leaves us to think.. is money the only means to achieve what we 'want' (not need)... where does destiny intersect ... is it true that 'everything is pre-written'
