A Mumbai teen who grew up in the slums, becomes a contestant on the
Indian version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" He is arrested under
suspicion of cheating, and while being interrogated, events from his
life history are shown which explain why he knows the answers.
Great movie with amazing background (and foreground) score, I feel this movie is fairly overrated. It closely touches the bitter reality and the aspects of 'Real' India unknown to many.
[There's more to this. I just wrote this article since I had to publish something to get this Blog rolling. There's lots more coming this way - including more detailed review of Slumdog Millionaire. Stay tuned!]

A good movie... 6 on the scale of 7: C-SAT!
The right weightage to every character and a good balance of the flow.
Especially, if you're a theater-crazy like my jijaji Aakash, you're
bound to love it - Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah, Paresh Rawal,
Rajat Kapoor, Anuradha Patel... it really was a
rich movie!
The heroine was "cute" as Barkha could decide, and the lead-actor (Imran Khan) wasn't bad either. And the
Jignes Patel guy kept reminding me of Pradeep (although he was sitting right next to me).
I really want to write a lot more, but can't think of anything. It's 5.52 in the morning and I should hit the bed.
In any case, it's a great movie... do watch it! You'll like it for sure..

Rang De Basanti!!!!
LOSE CONTROL!!!!!
Watching the 3rd consecutive movie which made me feel something to be proud about Bollywood. The Movie I would simply say is the BEST among the Hindi movies I have ever seen so far.
With an essence of patriotism the movie portrays the fact that no matter where we are, what we do and to where we belong, we still are a part of the
community called Indians. The best part about the movie is that there isn’t a call for the youth to fight for the country or to devote their life for the nation, but the fact that how these characters who look to me among just like one of us, who have nothing to do with all the CRAP as we all consider it to be get inside the heart of National issues, which then affects their personal lives and then they get in to taking the initiative for something which they always considered as Crap!!
Apart from all the major issues this movie deals with, it seems so nostalgic to people like us who have just came out of colleges and does include some very minute things which apart from the theme of the movie could not be neglected.
The characters displayed in the movie a fabulous and the way these characters are kept in track with the young freedom fighters of that era is a feast to watch. The movie never loses its grip at any point of time, and the Music of the movie is fabulous. Every character is so very much alive in the movie that the person watching the movie finds himself somewhere in the movie.
The Movie also targets to the various sections of the YOUTH which includes a student politician Lakhan Pandey who has different objectives than our dudes like DJ and Sukkhi. The English lady has been amazing in the movie especially when she says 'Maa ki Aankh' to the boss of hers.
The MOVIE simply passes a message to each and every one of us that 'MEDIOCRITY is SIN'.
