We saw Slumdog Millionaire last night. Wow! What a movie!
It is not for the faint of heart - there are some pretty brutal scenes about the main character's childhood, growing up an orphan, living on his wits in the slums of Bombay/Mumbai. Jamil goes on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? and because he does do well he's accused of cheating. After all, how could a tea boy from the slums know anything?
I've been to India twice, but this certainly was not the India that I experienced being whisked from one fancy hotel to another by a private driver.
