Slumdog Millionaire has given the westerners the real view of India. Its out of track than regular Hollywood flicks. Danny Boyle tried to sell "a curry" and have become successful. I would wonder, other people try some more movies with "curry flavour".

Regarding the acting, I was surprised when I saw Freida Pinto and Dev Patel was nominated for BAFTA. They have done fair acting but much to get nominations. I would not however question BAFTA. The acting of baby Salim and his brother are far more attractive tham of Freida and Dev.

Any movie that wins Oscars should be equivalent to "The Golden Pond" in my view, but these days you do not see those sort of movies or the actors like Jane and Henry Fonda. It would be a disrespect to such actors and movies, if every Tom, Dick and Harry start winning Oscar for nothing.
