I felt that the film had things put in the right way, without the usual salt pepper additions that comes packaged with today's movies. It was just speaking the true life. It isn't possible to bring out the entire life of a person to the audience in all subtle terms. The film has brought out some real life within the 'time limits of a film'.
As the film says, it was the destiny of Jamal to be with Lathika, it was also the destiny of Jamal to win that prize. The revelations that made it possible for him was put through by Danny Boyle in a simple manner; through the 'slumdog's' story.
Role of each character was perfectly designed. Salim's love for his brother; Jamal's determination to find his lost heart Lathika, the deceptive(his fear of another millionaire from slum; evident from film prompted me to use 'deceptive'.) Prem Kumar played by Anil kapoor, a righteous and understanding police officer by Irfan... the perfection just paid off for Danny's work.
At the same time, the credits goes to ARR also for that song, arousing the spirits of audience who prepares to leave the cinema hall contented with the 'happy' ending of the film.
I saw the film today. I'll say that the film just owned the Oscars. It deserves whatever it got.
Back to the reality. Yes... In reality, if such a thing can happen, it will never be in India. Because, it is not so easy for such a person to come out so high within the economic 'grounds' in India. Rather, has a person come across to 'that or appreciable' position in India from that level, all these years? Not definitely in Jamal's way ;).. Well, I really don't know the answer for my question. It is for the reader to find out.
Jai Ho!
Ps: India is home to 170 million slum dwellers; which is 17% of world's slum dwellers. This number also means that 63% of slum dwellers in South Asia resides in India. (Source)
