Some of my friends who came from Mumbai have given me very good insight of the City. I have never been to Mumbai but I have great love towards the city. If that is the case, I would say there are 'n' number of places in the world where survival is equally and sometimes much more harder than what it is in Mumbai. I don't want to be a pessimistic reviewer but what is the motive of that commercial? The theme was again pulled from Slumdog Millionaire which helps them connect to all kinds of audience which again means, Mumbai has been projected as a place where survival is very hard. Just before writing this, I have seen a commercial on NDTV for American Touristor Luggage.the ad features Mumbai's crowd packed local trains.a foreigner struggling to carry his luggage in the local train.the luggage hitting here n there, it being thrown away by the passengers and finally he reaches the destination with his luggage being safe and tough enough to survive all those hits and stampede.in the end the caption goes, "Survive Mumbai, Survive World".
The director who won an Oscar projected India and majorly Mumbai just as another world's most polluted city in all most all aspects. Yes, a documentary on India's poverty, Child Labor, Population, Unemployment, Pollution etc.
My opinion was (except for some songs and appealing background score) it should be called a documentary. With a mixed feeling, I watched the movie. So, all those might have created a positive impact on me, and again on the flip side, Indian reviewers wrote it was not an exciting flick for Indian audience. I read the reviewes, heard people talking about it, and was very excited when my favorite ARR won Oscars in February. But, to kill some 14hrs while flying home in May '09, I tried to watch those movies I skipped watching in theaters. I cannot remember any reason for this, it wasn't able to pull me to the theater. Ilaage saagithe konnallaku avi kuda puraavasthu saakha vari thavvakallo thappa velugu choodavu.Ĭoming to the actual opinion that I wanted to share.I was never excited to watch Slumdog Millionaire from the day of its release. Ippatike avvanni chaala mandhi marchipoyaru. Ila mana rasthram lo anadhiga vasthunna kalalu, sampradhaayaalu, geyaalu, jaanapadulanu aadarinche karyakramaalu roopondhithe mana mundhu tharaalavariki kaneesam avi ela undevi ani aina thelusthayi.
Chitti chilakamma antu, chandhamama raave antu chinnapudu nerpichina paatalu, padhyalu ippudu chaala arudhuga vinipisthunnayi. Media varu kuda Teluguthanam uttipade kaaryakramaalu konnaina chesthe entho baguntundhi. Ituvanti oka nirnayam valla variki mana Telugu jathi goppadhanam konthaina thelusthundhi. Endukante entho mandhi pillalaku mana Telugu padhaale theliyatam ledhu. Idhi nijamga manam antha harshinchalsina vishayam. prasthutha prabhuthvam kuda kothaga prathi paatasala lo Telugu paata aina"Maa Telugu Thalliki" thappanisariga paadinchamalani nirnayam theesukunnarani vartha. Endharo mahanubhavulu, kondharu naayakalu Telugu kyaathini chaatataniki entho payathnam chesaru. This is not a new concept in our politics it is all a routine issue that has been going on.Īlaage eerojuna aina Telugu variga mana kyathini, mana unikini gurthuchesukovatam entho avasaram ani na abhiprayam. Even today, the leaders who support this separation are merely doing this for power rather than serving the purpose and they might again exploit the region by looting away the funds allotted to the separate state, as there is no guarantee that they win next election. Though they did, at one point there was a break for their activities, in order to cater to their own selfish needs. Even most of the region's leaders were not capable enough to carry their message. Also there were communities who established themselves very well in spite of so many problems around and some people migrated to other parts leaving the problems behind. I read an article which said certain communities in this region exploited the lower class/tribes/illiterate folks which is also the same scenario in many other places.
From the articles I read it appeared to me that Telangana supporters weren't interested to live together from day 1 as they believed they would be exploited by other regions.but why did they compromise for these many years if there was no interest at all? The fact is that the poorer communities were the sufferers anywhere in the world and Telangana is not an exception.
