Enough ink & typing time has been wasted on Danny Boyle & The Slumdog and its impressive show at the Golden globes.
Heres a different take.
There was another one i cant remember where which said that the Mumbai terrorist attacks which captured the world's imagination probably had a say in how the jury viewed the film - in which case - as Steven Levitt would say on the Freakonomics blog - the attack indirectly was a positive trigger for Bollywood, Danny boyle, AR Rahman, Anil Kapoor - possibly even a watershed event - that is - if Bollywood goes on to bigger things from here. Must watch the damn movie when it opens here.
He he, Il probably be stoned, if any1 catches me, for being a heartless SOB.
But i have heard equally incredible / but logical arguments about how the A-bombs dropped on Hiroshima & Nagasaki stirred a whole generation of Japanese which led to their meteroic rise as an economic superpower in the next 20 years..and so on...
I really hope bollywood goes international - and maybe there'll be remakes of Beach movies like Into the blue or something, starring,um, healthier looking - shall we say ? - Indian babes like her in string bikinis and all.

on Slumdog, everyone talks about a White Director on his directing or depicting India..No one is there to talk about Q&A and its author..as the different take explains..
I hope to see you in the movie theater for Into the Blues remake, if Bolly goes Holly..
