I think Vijay Raaz or Arshad Warsi would be the rite choice for the role of prabhakar...
Dont call these stuff a BOOK please.......these are just pieces of collected stampedes lying all around ....even the Cover-Makers these days call themselves Literary Ornaments!
A Criminal's chronicle....not to be impressed...very ordinary stuff.

One doesn't need to have any pedigree or do something extraordinary to air his/her views! Red didn't like the book, it's his/her opinion.
By the way, I loved the book and his interesting tales of his journey in India and Afganistan.

good point made...see thats the mentality of majority of indians....
Actually both. red chillies and cannibaliz are both right. So, that makes the book an amazing reading and then people shud be given a chance to changes...to reform themselves...so a criminal alright but did the redemption in the later part...served his sentence and came out with the book...that's the thing to be appreciated...coz most might remain in the rut, not having the courage to come out

In the book, he has repeatedly expressed his remorse. And he completed his sentence. So that's cool.

The book is an international bestseller, and the movie is a Hollywood production.

Red Chillies...I have read your responses to a few topics ...Scarlett case, now Shantaram....you are quite a critical charatcer, arent you?xx A literary piece should be judged based on the quality of story and the writing and not based on the character of the author. What does the author's character have to do with whether a book is an exciting read or not...seperate the two.

Well, that's exactly my point and the point a whole lot of other people are making besides offcourse over a million readers ... they like the book, they think it a "good thing".
Incidentally, have you read the book or is that you have just read about the book and the author?
Of course he's playing the central role ! The dance number probably would be fitted in one of the slum celebration scenes, or when he does a cameo in a Bollywood movie. Read the book and you shall not ask stupid questions.
