Here's a movie to watch if you feel disgusted and yet nostalgic towards your country India. Delhi 6, a refreshingly new approach to making movies. A mix of drama and books and reality with the old formula of happy endings! So easily brings out the monkey in us, the disgustingingly superstitious approach to life of an otherwise intelligent race.
What's this hullaboo about Slumdog millionaire being overrated. I loved the movie, it was stitched pretty well. Yes the concept is not new when we talk about showcasing the slum world of our country, but I liked the way the story matched to the current context. Maybe it isn't worth 8 oscars like English Patient with a complex plot of map making and love. But it is definitely a good movie. Funnily enough I had forgotten that I had even watched English Patient which seemed more like choicest scenes of a person's mind than a movie. Why do good movies always have to boggle one's mind, leave open ended questions? Why can't they just flow smoothly into your cup of thoughts with facts of what is and not leave any room for imagination.
Watch Dev D. I think you will like it.
