Hello, Mr Lally.. I was surprised to see people in West liking Slumdog Millionaire so much..In India, a chunk of the population did not take the film in good spirit..What did you like so much about the film? I would like to know a westerner's opinion on the issue..I personally liked the film, but had issues with the term"Slumdog"...which I felt was a bit derogatory...By the way, your blog is very nice, Congratulations !
Saurabh, thanks for the kind words. I wrote my review of SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE a while ago on this blog. You can look it up under the movies category, or go to http://lallysalley.blogspot.com/2008/11/slumdog-millionaire.html
