Heard,read and watched this movie finally,liked it .But a big question that has come to my is "Is that the real India that's shown there?"Of course ,not .I live in Delhi and I swear you can see drastic change here in the last 2-3 years.I mean ,you just go out and see,low floor buses with LED displays,A/C public transport,Metro the lifeline fo Delhi which is spread all over and has made your ride so easy and quick,multistorey parkings,Malls--which brand do you want,just ask, fly overs all over-- 31 new added in last two years.What else do you want.Even I have stayed in US for nearly 2 years.I dont find Delhi lacking anywhere .Rather Im happy that my daughter is growing up here ,eating fresh fruits,veggis and milk with no preservatives and harmones added on and her big problem of constipation has totally disappeared .As far as cleaniness is concerned,the area in which I live is very clean.Then is that the true India thats shown there .But what I find that Indians themselves are responsible for this kind of stuff.For instance,my brother in law is in US for last 6-7 years now and I had observed him criticising our country whenever there was a get together of his friends,making fun of system,society and culture.I never approve this kind of approach.
I think we Indians need to change our thinking drastically and if you doubt,come and see Delhi.

hey i watched the movie too yesterday and it was ok. firstly, i agree with your point on delhi being clean and all but i would disagree with ur total denial of wht was shown as real india. sir, the question of "what india truly is?" is really debatable. is "page 3", "fashion" real india? or is "lagaan" true india? if u say that slums and the kind of places shown in the movi do not exsit then u are living in a state of denial. please, no offense meant.
But I would say something, that the movi is earning Oscars and awards showing the worst aprt of India and we Indians are happily cleberating it.
However, it is tru that Indians are mostly responsible for the way things are and for some sadistic pleasure feel proud in critisicing India and its “bad” state. I was traveling in train the other day and there was an American in the same boggy. A group of school kids started conversation with him. And how did they start? “India Is very dirty na, very poor?”
please add the "follow" widget to your blog, i would like to add urs.
thanks :)
