What would you call a movie that refuses to go down as a make - believe, a storyline that starts breathing life beyond the silver screen? It has to be the rags-to-riches tale directed by Danny Boyle. I think we will have to credit the multiple Oscar winning Slumdog Millionaire as an exceptional movie which has so beautifully captured a parallel world right at the heart of Mumbai - the city of glitz n glamour, a world where everyday is a living hell .
The true essence of movie making doesn't lie in entertaining the cinegoers alone. A true masterpiece is one which can rise and step out of the screen to touch people's lives . The producers of Slumdog are planning to donate Rs 37 million for the welfare of Mumbai's slumkids. All of it for a programme aimed at providing health care and education to these kids.
Now that's what I call a noble cause. Danny & Team surely deserves another golden statuette for the initiative.
Jai Ho !!
