Film's music is by A.R. Rahman except for Paper Planes which is by M.I.A. ,
an artist about whom I hadn't heard till today. She is of Sri Lankan Tamil
descent, and has had a life which could inspire another hollywood movie.
Music is superb to say the least, and you could visit wikipedia or run
some google searches to know more about it or to download it :-)
But this post is about the movie, which I just finished watching.
I confess, it's the best since I saw The Dark Knight on 18th July, 2008.
After listening to its music, it was impossible not to watch the movie
which possessed it. If there are movies worthy of repeat viewings,
it's one of them. Dev Patel fits like a glove in the role of Jamal Malik
and it's hard to tell other than his name that he is not a Muslim slum
dweller. Sanchita Choudhary looks beautiful in her Cameo as Jamal's
mother.
Irfan Khan's role in A mighty heart seems to have
fetched him this one as the police inspector too. Good
going Irfan, hollywood is ours now.
Mahesh Manjerakar as a ganster and Saurabh shukla
as a constable do well, as they have done it many other
times.
Child artists are the life of the movie for a big part,
I guess almost half. And, they justify the faith Danny
Boyle put in them.
In the end, Bravo Danny Boyle and Bravo Vikram
Swarup for writing the novel on which the film is based.
