[arr] Six Secrets of 'Slumdog' Success
http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/slumdog-millionaire-blog.html Six Secrets of 'Slumdog' Success by Jonathan Crow January 13, 2009 Fox Searchlight's Slumdog Millionaire "Slumdog Millionaire" is not your average Oscar contender. It's not about WWII survivors or tragically flawed geniuses. It doesn't star Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, or Meryl Streep. Instead, "Slumdog" has no big-name actors, a miniscule budget, and a good chunk of the flick was shot in Hindi. With the film racking up four awards at Sunday's Golden Globes, plus taking home five trophies at last week's Critics' Choice Awards, "Slumdog Millionaire" has become an unlikely front-runner for Oscar gold. So why has this movie, which as late as last spring looked like it might be released straight to DVD, become such a huge hit with both critics and audiences? Here are a few reasons: 1. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?: In these days when TV financial experts are having full-blown conniption fits on air and US economy is nose-diving its way into the next Great Depression, who doesn't want to be a millionaire? But if you think our country is in dire economic straits, it's nothing compared to the slums of Mumbai that are featured in the movie. So it's a real thrill to watch the character of Jamal (played by Dev Patel) go from the most abject poverty imaginable to the final round of the quiz show that could make him wealthier than he ever imagined. And apparently, the use of the one-time national sensation as a framing device in "Slumdog" has inspired ABC to bring the quiz show back to TV this summer, just in time for it's 10th anniversary. 2. An Incredible Story: "Slumdog" might feel fresh and new but its story essentially a good old fashioned melodrama, complete with dizzying highs, dismal lows, and a fairy-tale ending. The movie was based on a bestselling Indian novel called "Q&A." Veteran screenwriter Simon Beaufoy -- previously Oscar nominated for "The Full Monty" -- spent months in India researching the real conditions of the young children just barely getting by in Mumbai's poorest areas. Then he added the stirring love story to tie everything together. The resulting movie left audiences cheering. 3. Director Danny Boyle: Boyle has been the oddball wunderkind of British cinema for over a decade. He first came to international attention with "Trainspotting," perhaps the most entertaining movie ever made about the dangers of heroin addiction. And his "28 Days Later" is a slick and engaging movie about blood-thirsty zombies and the collapse of society. With his potent blend of over-caffeinated action and heartfelt emotion, Boyle was uniquely qualified to make a feel-good fable about abject poverty and child slavery. Photo: Neilson Barnard, Getty Images 4. Actress Freida Pinto: Simply put, she's gorgeous. A former model with no prior acting experience, she was the ideal casting choice for the dreamgirl who inspires Jamal to risk everything. The Mumbai-born Pinto quickly became an internet sensation, and she made several "Breakout Stars of 2008" lists. Never underestimate the box-office draw of a pretty face. 5. The Tourist Factor: For those whose only exposure to India might have been phone calls to customer service and the odd curry dinner, "Slumdog" is an eye-opener. Boyle resisted stepping back and shooting the movie like a travelogue. Instead, he thrusts the audience into a street-level view of the sights and sounds of India -- from the slum's crowded back alleys to the new gleaming towers of Mumbai, from the Taj Mahal to a stomach-churning outhouse. When you watch "Slumdog," you feel like you've been to India. 6. Bollywood: Remember back during the early '90s when Tinseltown did a collective double-take about wildly over-the-top flicks coming out of Hong Kong, movies like "The Killer," "City on Fire" and "Supercop"? It wasn't long afterwards that the likes of John Woo and Chow Yun Fat were making movies stateside and Hong Kong choreographers like Yuen Woo-ping were in high demand to add some kung fu spice to films "The Matrix." Well, the same might happening now with Bollywood. In 2005, one India's largest film distributors -- Yash Raj films -- revealed that Indian movies make over $100 million a year in the States. Bollywood diva Aishwarya Rai is appearing in more and more Hollywood movies including the upcoming "Pink Panther" sequel. That being said, "Slumdog" is essentially a love letter to Bollywood. Not only does the movie feature two of India's biggest stars -- Amitabh Bachchan and Anil Kapoor -- but "Slumdog" also ends with that staple of Indian cinema: the lavish dance number. Is it only a matter of time before intricately choreographed musical routines show up in your average Sandra Bullock flick?

Of course, Golden Glob
[arr] Once an underdog, `Slumdog' is now a heavyweight (AP)
http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.ap.org/once-an-underdog-slumdog-now-heavyweight-ap Once an underdog, `Slumdog' is now a heavyweight (AP) Source: AP Tue Jan 13, 2009, 12:13 pm EST In this handout image, provided by NBC, the cast and crew of 'Slumdog Millionaire' accept the award for Best Motion Picture - Drama on stage during the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday Jan. 11, 2009 in Beverly Hills, Calif. (AP Photo/NBC,Paul Drinkwater) NEW YORK - In May, " Slumdog Millionaire " appeared headed for that shameful scrap heap of movies: a direct-to-video release. But with the film's four-award sweep at the Golden Globes on Sunday, Danny Boyle 's romance has completed the same rags-to-riches trajectory of its main character. Like the underdog success of Jamal Malik a poor kid from the slums of Mumbai who becomes a flawless contestant on India's " Who Wants to Be a Millionaire "Slumdog" is an unlikely triumph. "This could turn into a $100 million movie now," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media by Numbers. "It's like the snowball effect." Its win at the Golden Globes will help secure its future, both as a box office success and as a major player at the Oscars , which will announce its nominees next Thursday. "It really gives the film credibility to people who maybe didn't know that much about it or didn't understand it," Dergarabedian said. "Suddenly, this is like the stamp of approval. It creates a situation where people are going to have to see this film." It also assures that Fox Searchlight will reinvest in marketing and expand the film's release to capitalize on its success. Spokespeople at Fox Searchlight declined to comment on the studio's plans Monday. Slumdog was filmed in India with a budget of only $14 million and has no big-name actors, and about a fifth of it is in Hindi. "We really weren't expecting to be here in America at all at one point so it's just amazing to be standing here," said screenwriter Simon Beaufoy while accepting his Golden Globe Sunday. But since the film's November limited release in 10 theaters, it has made $34 million, garnered excellent reviews, strong word-of-mouth and numerous awards. The honors include the audience award at the Toronto Film Festive and best picture from the National Board of Review, an early harbinger of the Academy Awards . "Slumdog" was originally to be released by Warner Independent Pictures , but Warner Bros . closed that branch last year leading to dim prospects for "Slumdog," including a potential DVD-only release. But Fox Searchlight picked it up and is sharing costs and revenue with Warner Bros. The studio, a boutique division of 20th Century Fox owned by News Corp ., has been here before. It has engineered the unlikely awards campaigns for small independent films like "Sideways," " Little Miss Sunshine " and " Juno ," all of which were nominated for Best Picture by the Academy. None of them won the top film award. All took on a similar David-verse-Goliath image at the Oscars and went on to make a lot of money. "Sideways" eventually made $72 million, "Little Miss Sunshine" took in $60 million and "Juno" made $143 million. "Slumdog" is currently in 601 theaters and has never been in more than 614 theaters in its nine weeks of release. (By contrast, " Bride Wars " opened in 3,226 theaters last weekend.) Still, it has continued, for the most part, to stay among the top 10 box office moneymakers. Last weekend, it earned a $6,206 average per screen, a very good number for a movie that's been out for two months. The slow, gradual release strategy has been paying dividends for many of this year's awards contenders. Clint Eastwood 's " Gran Torino " led the box office this past weekend with a gross of $29 million after several weeks of limited release. With low-budget awards-contenders like these enjoying box office success , suddenly the prospects of independent film don't look quite so apocalyptic as they did when divisions like Warner Independent and Picturehouse were shuttering. "It's fantastic for us to have had this kind of platform," said Boyle, whose previous films include " Trainspotting " and " 28 Days Later ." "It gets journalists all perked up. It works in so many different ways. It's an amazing vehicle for this kind of film and this kind of film is under pressure, as we know. The indie distribution is in real crisis." The Globes are far from a perfect predictor of the Oscars, though. And "Slumdog" almost certainly benefited from the more international outlook of the Hollywood Foreign Press voters. But "Slumdog" no longer seems like much of an underdog. "`Slumdog' has all the momentum right now. It's the film to beat," said Tom O'Neil , a columnist for the awards Web site TheEnvelope.com . "It's captured Oscar voters' hearts. Many of the voters I've spoken to have watched their DVD screeners six or seven times." Weeks ago when such plaudits seemed pure fantasy Boyle joked of t

[arr] Just a Sugesstion
Yesterday I went to My Cousin house. At that moment they were watching the Movie Mannan by P.Vasu act by Rajinikanth. In that movie there is one song name Adikethe Kulire which Rakinikanth's voice is used. To be honest Rajini didn't sing but just say some words in the middle of the song. Ilayaraja used SuperStar Rakinikanth's voice in that song. Why cant OUR SUPERSTAR BOSS A.R. Rahman use Rajini's voice in his next movie ROBO..? Rajini cant sing. thats true. But for our Boss it is possible if he thinks he want to use because he is GOD of MUSIC. :) Our BOSS has use Universal Hero Kamal's voice but not yet use Rajini's. Can some one clarify did Boss use Rajini's voice in the song STyle and Baba Kichi kichi taa or other songs?? if yes it is unnoticeable.. Some one near to RAHMAN can send this message/info to Him Just a sugestion only. sorry if i have said something wrong Guru's Humble fan, Kenny ROgers

[arr] Anthi Mantharai (Tear Drop)
Yesterday In Malaysia Astro channel 202 (VEllitirai) they showed Anthi Mantharai movie which is music by our Boss Rahman. Whenever i wathch this movie definately my tear will flow down from my eyes. the reason is because the story and acting really touch my heart, But the background music is the one always made my tear fall down. The music is unexplainable in this movie. I can bet if a person is a Music Lover sure their tears also will flow. If u dont believe watch this movie alone without any distubance. I hope veteran Music Directors like M.S. Wiswanathan, Ilayaraja, and more and also new music directors should watch this music. If they watch this movie, sure they will believe that RAHMAN's music is soulful music and i bet their tears also will flow from their eyes.. i feel like wanna hug Rahman and I hope i can hug Rahman once. I love u Man. Kenny Rogers * if u r a real Rahman fan and not yet watch this movie make sure u watch this movie... I highly recommend this movie ** Thanks for Bharithiraaja for selecting the right music directors for this movie...
