And the slumdog wins...The winning edge doesn’t seems to start with big budgeted films although it somehow adds excitement for moviegoers delight, the lowly Slumdog can’t believe their feat. I saw the film and it was not that glamorous nor striking, but the concept of the story says it all. My salute to the makers.
