And while this may not be Rahman's best (we all agree), he puts it well:
"There is a wealth of music and rhythm in India. People outside have noticed it a bit late. But they have noticed it"
Kudos to you Mr. Rahman!
Contrary to the recent uproar in India over banning Slumdog Millionaire/Slumdog Crorepati as the Hindi version (ban where? globally?? Try hard), the movie is infact not just about the slums of Mumbai or poverty-stricken India but rather echoes the grandeour and power of story-telling that makes issues of poverty, child abuse and gang wars a happy and heart-rendering experience. Visual richness, splendor in the simplicity of settings and the earnestness in the music score make the movie real than ever. So those trying to make this movie an issue to fight, kindly take a break, a back-seat and go enjoy this flick for its pure innocence.
