A ‘feel-good’ movie need not be a ‘good’ movie. I would say slumdog is a good movie, especially since its looking at an international audience. You must realize that many people who have/will watch it haven’t had a fraction of the first hand experience of poverty an average person from Mumbai has.

I dont think the movie (or any movie for that … Read Morematter) tries to provide solutions, but i think what they try to do is disturb people. The reality with which slumdog is handled, it disturbs without exaggeration… an american friend asked me whether there actually are blind beggars on the streets of Mumbai, I could without hesitation say that the movie had much genuineness. Its upto us now how we direct this disturbance.

Also, I think the love story was relevant for people who would otherwise feel disconnected. Passionate love stories are perhaps one of the few things that are synonymous around the world.
