Fabulous February

Slumdog millionaire: A Race to Oscars
February had been a wonderful month from the point of view of indian cinema. In this crucial time of economic depression the success of this movie at Oscars brought a smile on the face of millions of movie lovers in India. 22nd feb became the memorable day for every Indian movie lover as the movie with Indian crew was successful to bring 8 Oscars including the 'best movie of the year'. The winning of Oscars by A.R. Rehman, Gulzar & Resul Pookutty really made India proud. This success also brought a lot of questions with it as well.
What does this success actually mean to Indian cinema?
Is it right to consider slumdog as an Indian movie?

I can't really answer the first question but one thing is clear that it definately made India proud & made it recognized on Global screen.
As far as the second question is concerned I personally believe that though the production is not Indian but the spirit of the movie was Indian. It proved that we have the potiential to compete with the world's best film industries provided that potential is recognized and put in proper direction. The world cannot be biased towards Indian cinema any longer.
One thing that is also proved by this success is that its not the budget or big names that matter what matters is the content & its proper presentation on the screen.
