Slumdog Millionaire-The Indian Reality


What does it feel to grow up as an orphan in India? What does it feel like to become a millionaire? What does it feel like to betray? What does it feel like to starve? What does it feel like to see a murder? What does it feel like to be lucky?

What Does It Feel Like To Know That "IT IS WRITTEN" ??????????????

Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire appeals to all these elements making you realize that its a HARD life but people go on living. The social order of the life in the slums , the ambitions/lusts for power and the usual play of destiny makes the movie an honest and bold statement of India.
Though the movie underlines the lives of the ordinary, it is not a tragic or a gripping tale of sorrow; instead it showcases the extraordinary lives of the ordinary whom the world passes by without a second glance. The movie probes through all the issues from riots to prostitution,high society mumbai underworld to young fanatics of Big B.....
The movie is a truthful documentation of Life Of Slumdogs....... A story of (as quoted in the film) "From Rags to Raja's"..........

But is this so in the real context. What we long for needs time for achievement. But progressive aspects like “EQUALITY” happen only when De Jure and De Facto fall on similar planes ………… In reality women lack equal footing in many cases, this 33% would be a boost towards achieving a push forward. Also women Panchayat leaders are looki...

Everywhere we see the glaring images of people groaning in pain, incessant scenes of confusion, bloodshed, personal tragedy of families and so on. ...

A view of greenery, The silence of nature, But there is nothing “Natural” about this scene. Instead of chirping, All we hear is the hissing of the burning tyres. It is a scene after a serial blast. As time progresses we can hear the lower tones Of humans moaning out of pain. It is a scene of death. A murder of human spirit. A murder of humanity. A murder of the democratic spirit; Anything-aspiring equality; Anything inspiring truth; Or striking the soul for a change: Why is violence sought out? Why is it seen as the means to attaining Equality? Is “Bloodshed” the means to a fair end? Why is the act of disillusioned humans regarded as ‘glory’ by groups?
