Originally published as ‘Q & A”, Slumdog Millionaire has recently won many awards at the Golden Globe and the hearts of many movie lovers. Now before you diss it, you should really check this one out.

I’ve heard nothing but praises for the movie. Even from my friends who aren’t really into movies. A buddy has kindly shared the DVD with me but I’ve been so busy with CNY that I’ve not had the chance to watch it yet. Then yesterday, I chanced upon the book at Borders. Was highly recommended by the girl at the counter. Decided to get a copy to read before I watch the movie.

So far, I’ve been impressed with the book. It takes us on a journey through the streets of India and may be disturbing or shocking to some. We’ve always known India to be full of corruption, dirty money and biz, slavery, and all the horrible things imaginable but reading about them still made me feel very sad. I am sure watching them on the screen will be even more heart-wrenching.

Go here and here to read up more on it.

Then go check out the movie or the book. I promise that you won’t be disappointed.

P/S - The movie’s entirely in English and for once, no insanely famous Bollywood stars. Totally unknown faces but kick-ass story!
