bring home the oscars

I dare say A R Rehman has done a brilliant job with the Jai Ho...song in Slumdog Millionaire. He has gained rightfully deserved accolades and of course the Oscars. Interestingly, the movie and its director Danny Boyle have been criticised at the same time. The points of criticism go like this...this is not an Indian movie, its a typical underdog story, its not a true depiction of India and so on and so forth.

Several articles in all kinds the newspapers, magazines et al about it. Some people agreed to the critics...some did not. What came out from all this can be beautifully exemplified by this...an 86 year old lady who had not watched movies on theatre for some thirty odd years...went out with her friends bought the tickets, watched the movie and had a gala time about it!!

However BIG the movie was, the word-of-mouth about it certainly was Oscar quality! Way to go Indian Media Industry!
