The most talked about movie

A recent hollywood flick is revolving around the globe causing a big impact. With a fine script off of a great Indian novel, an immaculate direction and a very strong talented cast; this movie is one of the most talked about films in the world. It is titled "Slumdog Millionaire". This extraordinary film went on win five American Critics Choice Awards, four Golden Globe Awards including Best picture in both. Predictions are this film's name may also be inked on the list of nominees on the world renowned Academy Awards, possible categories are Best Picture, Director, Screenplay and Actor. Not to mention this movie was a gateway to bring India its first Critics choice award and Golden Globe. Ofcourse by India's biggest music director at present, A.R. Rahman. The only thing we are forgetting is that we are trying to take credits for a film that was not even made by the Indian Film Industry. Articles have been written about this film stating how it is another feather on the hats of Indian cinema when this film is produced by Fox, directed by England's Danny boyle and written by England's Simon Beaufoy. Like I've mentioned above, this film is an adaptation of a great novel Q and A by Vikas Swarup. It is also co-directed by Loveleen Tandan who has done several Indian based hollywood films. Our one and only Anil Kapoor has cherished the movie with his presence. Eventhough the novel was written by Vikas Swarup, Indian Film Industry did not churn out Slumdog Millionaire. I am proud that stories from India with a full Indian cast is carried on to such great heights but I do not think it is right to take credits for something we did not even create. No matter what the awards and credits are going to be given to producers from Fox, Danny boyle and Simon Beaufoy for creating the movie. Lagaan was a pure Indian achievement along with Mother India(1957) and Salaam Bombay(1988), the only Indian films nominated for the Oscars. Great movies are created in India for example Hum apke hain koun, nayagan, maro charithra, thalapathi and so on. Recent movies like Mozhi, A Wednesday, Okkadu, Vaaranam Ayiram were all proofs of elite Indian movie making with excellent acting, directing and music display. While we have so many good talents flourishing out of India I honestly do not know why we should take credits for somebody else's work. Our own film products make us much more than proud and the world has a lot to learn from Indian cinema.
