Ok movie
by max on Jan 12, 2009 12:28 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Over hyped movie!Too many flaws in plot & narration, way too many to list here. For exp, which Hindu parents may bring their precious child dripping in blue colour as Rama look-alike in a riot area! How does a poor blind child easily blurt out name of a u s president? Why would a popular show host unrelentingly taunt a hapless boy and regularly find approval & cheers from a very cultured Indian crowd? It is absolutely humiliating portrayal of us! Where do they get an idea that an unmanned car in Agra will simply be robbed of all accessories by street urchin with a speed of Ferrari pit stop mechanics! Is it that easy to get hold of a colt (leave alone desi made) revolver by a mere boy, get into a don's den, shoot him & walk out? Well, I will need an excel sheet to list out all the crap doled by this stupid director!
To be fair, i did like the concept & the way movie unfold; very innovative. The movie is also absolutely touching as long as the 3 children are around. I can see those parts repeatedly. But once these children are replaced the movie is totally a crap.

I also agree... There are few people who want to earn fame by depicting a bad picture of Indian society. Some scenes in the movie like... Jamal jumping into the shit-pit to take Amitabh's autograph and few others were unnecessarily shown

true, script has flaws, but that is not something to blame the director for. and anyways, the movie has not won anything for script, its all for the way movie unfolds and the acting and music.
