Tuesday, January 13, 2009
Jamal Malik is one question away from winning 20 million rupees. How did he do it ?
A. He cheated
B. He's lucky
C. He's a genius
D. It is destiny
The much acclaimed movie that hit theaters in Dec 08 out here in the US starts off with the question "How did he do it?" the answer to which lies in the life of Jamal Malik who has spend the majority of his life growing up in the slums of Mumbai. A superb narration of his life and how different things in life are connected. And when you add A.R Rahman's music to it - simply superb.
Happened to watch this movie over Christmas and liked it very much. Came to know the other day that it has bagged 4 Golden Globe awards with Rahman winning the best original score - "Jai Ho". We all knew he had talent and that the world would recognize him tomorrow if not today.
The movie is actually based upon a novel written by Vikas Swarup titled "Q&A". The movie is yet to be released in India (Releasing on Jan 23rd) but it has already won about 64 awards from the time of its release in the US on November 12th.
Get a chance - do watch it !!!
