Slumdog Millionaire

[Quattro Pete]

Anyone watched this yet?

Saw this last weekend. It's a story of a poor Mumbai kid told while he's answering questions on the Indian version of "Who wants to be a millionaire". It's a cute film, alas still a big fairytale. Then again, most hindi movies are - take it or leave it. I'd say it's still worth seeing.

Those who watched it, did you catch the big inconsistency related to the game show? If you did, try not to spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet.

Bolly and Dollywood have a bit to go yet to catch up ..(although television isn't film)..but then again ..I really find little engaging in what we have either.

I've been known(misnomered) as "Motu" in hindi. Varsha used to call me "Hello, Motu" .."Oh, Motu, you can't ..no..no..motu" (imagine higher pitched south central asian tone)

YES!!!

Not at first ..but after they got to know me. In my case, it means "The Great One" (riiiiight

)

El Gorrrrrdddo.

Sort of. I looked up motu. The common definition is gordo, but it can also mean well endowed.

Seems like it was quite a success at the Golden Globes. Interesting to see America more and more open to Bollywood, although technically this wasn't Bollywood since the director is British. Funny that the co-director on the Indian side did not even get mentioned during the ceremony.
