The Oscar fever has this time gripped the movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ after it won the four Golden Globe awards and four Richard Attenborogh awards. The most criticized movie of contemporary time is surely ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ which is being in the news for one glib or the other. Albeit the fact that critics praise the film sky high, it is being plunged with comments by many Indians and Indian celebrities.
Director Priyadarshan said that Slumdog is not worth to be contenting for the Oscars and if selected, it means the people are not aware what world cinema is all about.
‘I had read the novel Q & A by Vikas Swaroop and the film fails to portray what it was intended to do. Maniratnam had plans to bring the script to celluloid but Danny Boyle bought it in but in a gruesome, nasty way that shows Mumbai badly and us people as low level slum dwellers.’
The wide spread comments which is also the same as of Amitabh Bachchan’s and Salman Rashdi’s is the makers feasted on marketing poverty life in India and made us look cheap on global standards.
On the flip side of the coin, magazine’s in the US and UK states a conspiracy is being hatched against the film from winning the Oscars by propagating news like the production company didn’t deliver proper remunerations for the child artists and so on. The members of the academy awards was delivered the voting papers and now they are in a stall as such negative gossips had bought down the caliber of the movie, says the headlines in these papers. The film has an Indian theme and is an adapted version of an Indian author’s novel which makes it a native movie rather than a Hollywood flick.
Despite pouring criticism and controversial take on ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, millions of Indians support the film to win the Oscars whole heartedly for AR Rahman is one among the nominee and it will be our time to prove our mettle internationallySource-Indiaglitz.com
