Enough and more than enough has been said about slumdog millionaire on TV, print and blogosphere….my final two pennies…while I see two clear camps of oh-so grt-why-be ashamed-of-our-reality(slums) and why-did-they-show-india-this-way-movie-is-overrated, but I don’t see myself fit into either camps.

Vivek has been asking me to watch this movie since a long time..my bad that I waited for the movie to bag Golden Globes before I gave it a dekko. The movie is awesome, some people have reservations about how India is portrayed, but I loved the story and human spirit captured in the movie..any more words would give away the plot and I urge everybody to discover the movie on your own.
Woah…

Himesh is often ridiculed by many of my peers, but for me, this one song compensates for all his other nasal exploits….Himesh must have sure done himself proud.

Sunday morning, reading two posts from two people about season 1 inspired me to resume my season 2 viewing. I had left after 3 episodes as I found the Maya track too dark. But, boy, I’m glad that I was back ..though not as gripping as season 1, it does well and I’m assured that season 3 is better…however, found it strange that Candince is murdered in the earlier episodes, her ability is very powerful and is a favourite of some of the people I know….I’m sure she will make a comeback later…..till then Happy Viewing to me , I just wish I had watched this season earlier when I had better company 🙂
