SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE WINS OSCAR NOMINATION

What could be the better time for Indian cinema? Golden Globe winner Slumdog Millionaire has been given 10 nominations in nine categories. Set on the backdrop of our own Mumbai, this already termed hit movie by Danny Boyle is making waves all over the world and is now a bookmaker’s favourite for Oscars.

The most exciting news for Indians is that music composer A R Rahman has been nominated for best original score for the movie. He had already won Golden Globe in the same category for this movie and many believe he will win the Oscars too. Rahman has really made India proud of his work.

Although directed by a British, the movie is much about India and hats-off to Danny Boyle, who chose India for such a wonderful project which has brought Mumbai and India on the world map when it comes to movies and entertainment.

Coming to Bollywood, Chandni Chowk to China did not do that well as expected. The only reason is because the movie had nothing when it comes to script. The plot is completely missing. Akshay Kumar as always has acted marvellously. He made me laugh but it was in patches. Deepika Padukone looked good.

Another movie is releasing today with the serial kisser Emraan Haashmi, Kangana Ranaut and Addhyan Suman in the lead role. Raaz- The Mystery Continues is been promoted as a horror movie. Let’s see how this one performs at the box office.

Slumdog released in India today and I will be watching it for sure. You also go and watch this wonderful, touching movie.
