By now , Every Indian must have got to know about the Oscar-Day of India. Kudos to AR Rahman. For Rahman’s score of Slumdog Millionaire, He won the Critics’ Choice Award, the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score,the BAFTA Award for Best Film Music, and two Academy Awards in 2008 out of his three nominations. Cheers to Rahman and Slumdog Millionaire’s Crew.

Do you know how much were young actor/actresses paid ? Few Thousand Pounds? NO. Few Hundred Pounds. Yes, Don’t be spellbound. They were born and are being brought up in the slums of Dharavi, a suburb of Mumbai, where, Slumdog Millionaire was actually filmed. I dont understand why SM is being considered as a movie. I believe Slumdog Millionaire should be declared as a Documentary. It is no less than a documentary on India’s Poverty. It has showcased Poverty, Corruption, lunacy for Amitabh Bachchan, 1993 Riots and what not. Full Mumbai Darshan in 2Hrs. I have not seen the movie. Infact , I have no urge to watch it . I did try to watch it but could stand only 15 odd minutes of the movie. You can call Coward GJ. I won’t mind.

I am sure all big Indian Directors must have started digging in all the books on Indian poverty by now . You never know , someone can bag an Academy award. They must be regretting. How come they missed aamci mumbai. damn! Anyways, We are taught to see the half-filled glass. Congratulations to all my Indian Fellows. We have got “India” carved in golden words in Academy Award’s History.

To Slumdog Millionaire , Accept my hearty congratulations. For the benefit of all, Indian Poverty will always be there to get exploited and serve even better.
