Well, this is an interesting movie...one of the better ones thus far. Then again I haven't seen much lately. Yes everyone likes a rags-to-riches love story, especially if it involves kids. Better if they were poor kids! The movie was entertaining and endearing, and it also exposes the reality of life for the majority of the population in a major Indian city to the worldwide audience. I guess most of us who haven't been to India would not have guessed that that is the real India! I think it is not whether he wins the 10m rupees - that's a foregone conclusion - but the journey of the lives of the three main characters that is the highlight of the show. Danny Boyle has a penchant for directing shows with kids as the main character (Millions was another - I still can't quite get that one yet). However unlike many other similar shows this movie fail to make me weep - wonder why...
Highly-recommended movie - now everyone would be waiting to see whether it can win the most coveted Oscar of all!
