Last year, India made a huge leap in world of cinema when a film made in India, about India, won the oscar, nascars, bafta, kofta and many more for the Best Film. Canny Boyle, as the name suggests, was working in a Danish boiler industry before he was catapulted to fame overnight for directing this film. The film was 'slumdog millionaire', in which the slums and dogs were from India and the millionaire part came from Britain.
Anil Kapoor's jubilation when the film won makes you wonder whether he was actually a part of the movie(he was?? oh, sorry!!). The male lead is now leading a peaceful life in some unknown location in the Easter Islands. The apparently hot female lead has made inroads into the film industry by actually being tagged as the second most searched female personality on google after Justin Beiber. In Kerala people mistook the 'pint' in her name for something more familiar hence causing the unforseen popularity. She right now is an assiduous international artiste busy with highly artistic C-grade films in southern Tunisia.
The child artistes in the movie from specially hand-picked by Mr.Boyle from the bustling slums of the country. Mr.Boyle quoted, "its not hard finding slums in the country. All you need to do is follow your instinct and you sense of smell." These children were given special care so that people could actually stand beside them without resorting to usage of anti-chloroform drugs. They were also given special training in language as they earlier used sign language. There children were an instant hit in the whole country and were seen as a beacon of hope for all the homeless and hapless children of the country. There was so much hope that the govt.actually had to deport these kids to Zimbabwe to switch off the beacon and save electricity.
A certain A.R.Wahman had also won the award for best music of this movie, which he was later penalised when Bappi Lahiri(better known as 'jin pong huia' or father of sumo wrestling) accused him of plagiarism from his earlier hits. A malayali hogged the limelight for making noise, Resul Pookkutty. He died a peaceful death trying to record the noise made by a lawn mower.
We, the people of India, were ecstatic after the movies success. They probably thought that it was an Indian movie. We forgot that if the movie was Indian, it would have won The Best Foreign Film award, and not The Best Film award. So basically the US made a fool of us, AGAIN. Why dont you go take out your frustration on Julian rather than on the fastest growing economy in the world(No, am serious!!).
As a parting shot, i'd like to add that we should'nt encourage such movies that show the true nature of the country and break the bubble for all those foreign idiots who come to see the splendour of the country. Such movies should be burned in Ram Gopal Verma ki AAG(yes, such is the intensity of my hatred for slumdog millionaire). We should strive to promote indigenous works of art like those of Rakhi Sawant and Raja Choudhary.
