Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has congratulated the entire team of "Slumdog" but neither he -- nor the superfine stupidos running the PMO -- had any thing to say about the 39 minute real life docu-drama, "Smile Pinki" by Megan Mylan, which is in Hindi, and highlights the work of Dr Subodh Kumar Singh whose The Smile Train performs simple surgeries that turn poor children born with a cleft lip into smiling faces.
Wo Man Woe !
This is a hugely deserved accolate for this team. Hope their work is highlighted every where (and by Rediff) and brings in the required donations for this cause.
Slumdog was never a indian movies. it was in the category of British Movie and in english language. Had it been indian movie and in hindi, it would not have made to the Oscars. In any case Rehman does not require any acknowledgement from Oscar, He is already a magician.
OSCAR award won by Smil Pinky is the real honour for the Indian Cinema but not the awards won by Slumdog Millionaire. SM was produced and shot by foreigners. Only Rahman was the Indian technician. Actors acted in that film were suppose to be from India because the whole film was based on India Slums.
