Slumdog Millionaire

Thanks for sticking around,

I don't think I've said how much I've loved the movie, Slumdog Millionaire. It is a movie about a young boy who lived in the slums of India his entire life and who falls in love with another girl from the slums. At a young age they are separated and the boy, Jamal, makes it his life quest to find the girl, Latika. He decides to go on the most popular show in India, Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, knowing that Latika will be watching. It is an excellent film directed by Danny Boyle with an amazing soundtrack by A.R. Rahman ( by the way, his name is not prounounced Rahkman, as said by people in the Oscars, it's pronounced reh-man, just like it's spelled. What a coincidence!) A few songs I suggest checking out are Liquid Dance, Mausam and Escape, and O...Saya. Although this movie is rated R for thematic elements and intense scenes, it is definately worth checking out. C0nvince your parents, watch it, and convince your entire other family to watch it. Already many groups have covered the kind of title song, Jai Ho, like Anika said that the Pussy Cat Dolls covered it. I really am not a fan of PCD but atleast it's getting recognition.

Don't touch that dial, We'll be right back after these messages from our sponsors!
