Disappointing movie reviewBy: Mohit Anand | Friday , 30 Jan '09 12:32:48 PM Reply | Forward One would expect a paper like the Indian Express to not fall prey to the sway of popular hysteria of an over hyped film. I am an ardent fan of Danny Boyle and have no doubt enjoyed Slumdog thoroughly. However, I strongly feel that a lot of the adulation it has received is overdone and most people have gotten caught in the 'white man makes a film about India' hype surrounding the movie. Sadly, everyone seems to be conveniently avoiding discussion of the more lacking aspects of the movie. Its unfortunate that the Indian Express too has stuck to the trend and has avoided an intelligent critique.

GlitchesBy: Sandipan Roy | Tuesday , 24 Feb '09 14:43:12 PM Reply | Forward I Agree. Glitches:1. You can never view TajMahal from rail tracks2. A slum-boy lands in Taj and the very next scene strts talking English3. In a TV Show, the actor never travels daily from his house to the studio, specially in a city like Bombay.4. In call center, a chai-wala boy will never be allowed to handle calls. How come he can operate the computer with ease? Also, I feel the call-center flick was to highlight our BPO in poor state, where any lay-man can get a hand on the computer.
