Classifying this film is beyond me,. Its neither a documentary, a fiction, a true story nor a love story. I have no objection about the abject poverty shown well it does exist, but the whole slum dog unit echoing that it is a story where love triumphs that is beyond me. Actually it is a 'kichidi'... one is confused as to which emotion should surface at the end of the movie. Only the music is different and great but of course no poetry in the songs...
