let me say at the outset that i don't intend to offend or influence anyone. the views expressed here are entirely my own. i checked out slumdog.... yesterday and am still wondering as to how this film has got so much of acclaim. not to say that it's a bad film but really.... i have seen better films than these(lagaan,RDB,TZP,chak de...being among them). slumdog is nothing more than a masala potboiler. the acting's par excellence,the direction's brilliant but i seriously think the script could have been better. my rating's 3/5
