A recent
hollywood flick is revolving
around the globe causing a big
impact. With a fine script off
of a great Indian novel, an
immaculate direction and a very
strong talented cast; this movie
is one of the most talked about
films in the world. It is titled
"Slumdog Millionaire".
This extraordinary film went
on win five American Critics
Choice Awards, four Golden Globe
Awards including Best picture
in both. Predictions are this
film's name may also be inked
on the list of nominees on the
world renowned Academy Awards,
possible categories are Best
Picture, Director, Screenplay
and Actor. Not to mention this
movie was a gateway to bring
India its first Critics choice
award and Golden Globe. Ofcourse
by India's biggest music director
at present, A.R. Rahman. The
only thing we are forgetting
is that we are trying to take
credits for a film that was
not even made by the Indian
Film Industry. Articles have
been written about this film
stating how it is another feather
on the hats of Indian cinema
when this film is produced by
Fox, directed by England's Danny
boyle and written by England's
Simon Beaufoy. Like I've mentioned
above, this film is an adaptation
of a great novel Q and A by
Vikas Swarup. It is also co-directed
by Loveleen Tandan who has done
several Indian based hollywood
films. Our one and only Anil
Kapoor has cherished the movie
with his presence. Eventhough
the novel was written by Vikas
Swarup, Indian Film Industry
did not churn out Slumdog Millionaire.
I am proud that stories from
India with a full Indian cast
is carried on to such great
heights but I do not think it
is right to take credits for
something we did not even create.
No matter what the awards and
credits are going to be given
to producers from Fox, Danny
boyle and Simon Beaufoy for
creating the movie. Lagaan was
a pure Indian achievement along
with Mother India(1957) and
Salaam Bombay(1988), the only
Indian films nominated for the
Oscars. Great movies are created
in India |

for
example Hum apke hain koun,
nayagan, maro charithra, thalapathi
and so on. Recent movies like
Mozhi, A Wednesday, Okkadu,
Vaaranam Ayiram were all proofs
of elite Indian movie making
with excellent acting, directing
and music display. While we
have so many good talents flourishing
out of India I honestly do not
know why we should take credits
for somebody else's work. Our
own film products make us much
more than proud and the world
has a lot to learn from Indian
cinema.
