The grand victory of the Slumdog Millionaire makes us proud of the Indian cinema, though not Indian totally as we had the hands of the amazing foriegn director, Mr. Danny Boyle. The cast was perfect and so was the picturization. The songs, the music creates magic on every player. From children to adults to our oldies, all humming the 'Jai Ho' number to the pat of their hearts. What a movie! What a cover story! It surely must have earned millions, billions, trillions and so on.
But wait! What about the slums? What about the real dogs? What have they earned? Our claps in the multiplexes or our triumphic howls at the Oscars. Do they know what Oscar refers to? Do they even know their story has bagged India loud winnings? Perhaps the answer is NO. The slumdogs are still the underdogs, the unpreviledged, poor lot. Its the irony of our society that we bank our profits on the names of such creepy,poor people and they dont even get the slightest idea of their debt to us. What are we suppose to do? What has the film fraternity to do with the issue? Lets discuss this. What are your words on this irony report.
Thanx!
