evrything is fine.good that indian cinema forayed into international scenario.

but slumdog millionaire is a british movie and not indian.isn't the celebration misplaced?

Also why so much of hoopla about oscars?are the indian awards not enough for recognising and felicitating the indian cine achievements?do we need somebody else's opinion or an award to be contented with the success?why do indian cinema people crave for OSCARS? these are the questions that stormed my mind while reading the newspaper in which the ACADEMY AWARDS ruled the haedlines.and another intersting news item tht caught my attention is the UPA govt trying to take credit of this achievement and criticising the former govt in view of forthcoming elections.

i feel there is no need for so much of celebration for the success of slumdog.i agree its a great movie.but its not a indian movie,its just about india.

I'm not criticising the movie or the awards or hurting someone's feelings.

ITS JUST A THOUGHT.
