The Slumdog Millionaire Fairytale

When I was a kid a fairytale for me was the story of “Thumbalina” or, “Snow White and Dwarfs”. Times have changed. For my nephew, who is 6 years old, a fairytale is the story of Jamal Malik – The Slumdog Millionaire. Yes, indeed times have changed.

Rahman at Oscars

After all the Oscars and the Bafta awards, I have still not come to terms with what has been happening. Till about 4-5 months back, “The Slumdog Millionaire” was just another movie. All of a sudden in such short time, it has become one of the most talked about movie. With 8 Oscars in the kitty, it is indeed worth being the talk of the town. But what made the movie an Oscar winner is still a question mark at least for a common man like me.
