I saw it and although it was a good story I didn't think it deserved one oscar let alone many oscars because...
1.Too far fetched.The idea of a two guys finding a girl after at least 10 years with out even knowing her last name is next to impossible. 2.The questions on the game show were very easy.You ever try watching jeopardy and seeing how hard those questions are?Not very realistic to bet $10,000,000 on a question that probably most sports fans know.Then the final question?$20,000,000 on who was the last musketeer?Come on that is like saying what is the name of Mickey mouses girlfriend. 3.Getting thrown off at train 20 feet high,at 40 MPH and getting up and walking away. 4.The older brother risking death and commiting murder for a girl who he constinatly says he don't give a crap about.To make matters worse he starts a relationship with her. 5.At the train station that girl is kidnapped dragging and screaming in the midst of thousands of people.I would think one of them would have done something. 6.It's a foregin movie.Oscars should cover only American movies.They should got a oscar for best foreign film instead. 7.Oscars always vote for movies that recently came out.They never remember movies that came out earlier in the year.Across the universe wasn't even mentioned for crying out loud! As far as Indian movies are concerned...I used to be a regular at a two screen theatre that just showed Indian movies.Most Indian movies last nearly 3 hours and typically involve singing and dancing.This movie is very boring compared to the norm. |

Okay-points taken- but it still was one of the better movies of the year I believe. Also the director is British- not Indian.
- The story is a good one though...  Definately a "feel good" movie!

The trailers make it out to be a chick flick/musical. I'm not sure if I wanna go there.  I MIGHT get it on a free rental or see if the library has it. It is a love story - but has so much more to it! It's really a story about two little brothers surviving in one of the poorest countries in the world...  I don't think you will be disappointed! I disagree here. The movie is based on the novel which shows how a boy from slum knew all the answers. India is not the poorest country(I am not defending but its what world's economist says).Its called developing becos of the population. I request not to generalise it about the country. In Mumbai there is a slum called "Dharavi". This movie moves around it. There are other bollywood movie in which you would feel India is one of the richest country of the world. Thats the beauty of the Bollywood film making.
