you’re right, this …
you’re right, this film is vastly more honest and superior to Danny Boyle’s “Slumdog.”

I can’t believe * …
I can’t believe *this* movie did not win an Oscar but there’s so much Oscar buzz about Slumdog Millionaire.

Guys, get the idea …
Guys, get the idea of the film, its made to entertain, There is no plot in this movie other than just another story. You guys just fail to forget to see the bigger picture. Slumdog was not about the way india was portrayed. It was about his winning the competition. You guys suffer from inferiority complex.

for slumdog it …
for slumdog it wrote for and sold to the western audiences – and they see what they want to see about India. poverty sells yet poor never does!! That is why Mira’s salaam Bomby did not make such a buzz as the slumdog.

The soundtrack has haunted me for 20 years. This film is far superior to Slumdog.

i´ve seen mira …
i´ve seen mira nairs movies when i was a young men, and it made me cry. powerful and so human and sad at the same time. slumdog is somehow the temporary interpretation of salaam bombay. but i agree: salaam touched me more, seems to be more realistic. but both movies are entertainment to us the whealthy white europeans….
