Marketing again
by Shravanuniversan on Feb 23, 2009 09:57 PM

Slumdug millionaire is normal bollywood masala movie, though the plot and screenplay is too good,casting and acting is good, one would not be comfortable in scenes where Irfaan talks to saurabh shukla in English. In which police station, anywhere in india an inspector and constable talks in English?Does not look like artificial?this is what they call marketing technique. if the movie was made in hindi, it could be eligible only in one category-foreign language.
Mel Gibson did that in Passion of Christ- while the whole movie is in Aramic with english subtitles.
The scene where they boy(jamal malik) jumps into the open toilet & with full of shit he comes to meet Bachan. Tell me onething- Are indians so fanatic about movie stars?i don't think so. Not even Indian-no one in this world will dare to do this kind of act.
Being a nice human being bachan(in the movie) should have asked to wash the kid first rather than signing an autograph
and if not for Danny Boyle, it it has been done by entire bollywood or any indian team, they would have not even shown any interest.
i believe its the same strategy how sushmitha and aishwarya won world beauty titles. US wants to enter India in a large scale manner(already Warner brother are here) and they see lot of potential and money in Indian market. Also they are in global economic meltdown which is affecting their movies too. That is the reason for 8/9 oscars for SM?
