I am movie Buff and view Movies on a regular Basis. I did happen to watch the Movie Slum Dog Millionaire on the day of release, of course after paying a premium. The Media Hype about the Movie and the n number of Oscar Nomination received for the Movie made me decide on paying the Premium. I do acknowledge it was a well made movie, directed very well, right actors for the right character and good music score. What a shame we talk of equality in the World? But I thought if this movie received so much of hype & attention than I thing the World has been very very unfair to Directors & Movie Makers of INDIA. There has been N movies which have been of the same class or even even better which hasn't received so much of Hype and Attention.
Is this because the director and producer are White collared People, Is Apartheid Surfacing in the entertainment world. Some movies which come to my memory off hand "Tare Zameen Par", "Lagaan", "Mozhi" , "Aarth", "Nayagan" the many Movies of Raj Kapoor, Shivaji Ganesan. Isn't this Apartheid in the Entertainment Industry!!
About Me
- Name is an Identity.....Bala
- Very difficult to describe about me. But I guess am simple person who has taken the path shown by life. Made best use of circumstances and chance. Never to blame fate or luck. Take life as it comes. But definitely give your best shot. I like music of Illayaraja, songs of SP Balasubramian, Kishore Kumar, Mohammed Rafi, PB Srinivasan to name a few. I believe in the Hindu Tradition and follow it very closely as practical.

Hi Bala...I will vouch for "Lagan" for Oscars:-). But i guess, the song and dance, is a strict "no-no" with Oscar!!
