Reality ( Poverty of the Third World ) Sells
by Aniruddha Nath on Jan 21, 2009 03:14 PM

This movie has excellent story, great direction, camera, sound. These are topped with fantastic acting by some almost unknown actors.

But while I've started watching the movie, a very depressing thought was creeping in. One question reveberated several times. Is it for all those technical/acting excellence, that this movie doing great in west ? or is it the real naked poverty of India which is boosing the ego of all white viewers ?

This thought hasnt left me yet.

Honestly, its difficult to digest such truth, when told by an outsider.

Lets see, how it catches up with when it releases in India.

Hope politicians do not make an issue for their own interest. I would be happy if any political party takes an oath to eradicate poverty instead of pelting stones at theaters in protest of selling poverty of India etc etc.
