Here goes my movie review number two…and I heard from people that review no.1 wasn’t all that bad..
I guess this is one review I MUST write..Here’s why
Over the past year or two,there’ve been books about that India which gets trampled and humiliated amidst terms like “economic boom” and “emerging superpower”..not to forget other lingo like “Nuke deal”..”123″,etc…which seem far away from it… The anger and purpose of authors like Aravind Adiga and Chetan Bhagat(I mean that unromantic,serious part of ”3 mistakes of my life” which tells us about some of the religious issues in North India) have been followed by this movie now…
And now this movie..which combines parts of these two books.Some of the ingredients of these..to say the least..have been inspiring…as in..inspiring the REAL India..which suffers due to various socio-political issues
1.All these tell us that when slavery and ambition..which seem to come together at times like in Adiga’s book and Boyle’s movie..when blessed with a little bit of luck and a lot of valour..can yield many good things..
2.Underlining issues like Hindu-Muslim problems not only reflect the real state of the country at the grassroots level..but also inspire us to come together..whatever our faiths be.These things have been stressed upon for quite a while,but I guess when they are expressed through media like bestsellers and blockbusters..people will think about it more seriously..
I’m really bad at analysing the finer technical aspects of the movie..so.I guess this is all I’ve to say..and finally…4 stars on 5 for the content and Rahman’s background score..
