Thoughts on Slumdog Millionare

Watched Slumdog millionaire last night.

I won't say it was an excellent movie, but it is definitely worth a watch. Its not an unpredictable story; but the way it is told, through past narratives from Jamal's life and travelogues charting north India and Mumbai, Slumdog becomes a fable of hardship and success. (very cheesy!)

The acting was good, the direction was little short of excellent, the music was remarkable.

Overall a good movie and the awards are well deserved.
