I am surprised not at the movie winning 10 Oscar nominations but the fact that people in India are so much impressed just by the fact that the movie has made its place in the Oscars, & without even thinking are giving it a rating of 5/5.
Obviously, they would enjoy it when the filth of our country is used as a tool for popularity, but, other than that I don't think there is anything so great about this movie.
If we compare it to some other good movies made in India, movies like 'Rang de basanti', 'Taare zameen par', & 'Aamir' this is just an average movie. I would rate it 2 as an average movie but subtract 1 because of the fact that it shows India too dirty. Not that it's not true, but, I just don't like the Idea of showing India so badly in front of the world.
I think it is high time we Indians realize that the Oscars are biased. Since, this movie was directed by a American director, it is doing so well in the Oscars. The pitiable part is that we without going with our instincts & rating this movie as an average movie, instead, are being influenced by the fact that it has won 10 nominations in Oscar & rating it as a very good movie.
I feel this is a very sorry state of affairs.
