Slumdog Millionaire In Mumbai!
|
In the city of dreams, here's a movie about dreams coming true. Winner of four Golden Globes and nominated for 10 Academy Awards, Slumdog Millionaire is the sleeper hit to watch out for at the Oscars.
After premiering world over, the movie finally came to its home city, Mumbai, on 23rd January to a grand reception. The who's who of Bollywood turned up to witness an ecstatic cast and crew dance down the red carpet to the beat of dholkis and drums.
''It feels like a million nominations,'' said director Danny Boyle, who earned one of the nominations.
However, not everyone has been so appreciative of the movie. Amitabh Bachchan wrote on his blog that he felt the movie was too focused on the poverty in India. Critics have even called it poverty porn.
However, none of these sentiments were visible at the premiere where stars shone in their finest and the evening totally rocked. The morale was high and Anil Kapoor was definitely the star of the evening. Frieda Pinto was disappointing in her coral outfit especially considering she's looked totally wow at her other premieres.
Others On The Red Carpet:
- Surprise of the evening: Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu! Seen them make an appearance after a really long time and they continue to look good together.
- Shock of the evening: Divya Khosla Kumar and Tulsi Kumar. The two sisters-in-law are trying to outdo each other by dressing badly... and we really cannot decide who's winning!
- Father-Daughter Pair of the evening: Anil and Sonam Kapoor for sure! The duo rocks.
- Back To Her Old Tricks of the evening: After actually looking nice at the Screen Awards, Sonali went back to her old, ghastly self.
- Va Va Voom Appearance of the evening: Genelia D'souza! She's never looked so good before. Her only competition was Soniya Mehra (Vinod Mehra's daughter) in her bondage dress.
- Im Influenced By Chandni Chowk To China of the evening: Padmini Kolhapure... what was she thinking?
- Im Influenced Too: Neha Dhupia - she obviously wasn't thinking!
- Diva Gone Wrong on the evening: Sushmita Sen. Oh, how we miss the glorious Sushmita of old...
- Disappointing Show of the evening: Madhuri Dixit. The face is still gorgeous, the lady all smiles. But she looks like an NRI gone wrong - certainly not the exquisite lady we're used to seeing.
- Pleasant Surprise of the evening: Vidya Balan looking absolutely fabulous in a white churidaar kurta.
- And finally, the Worst Dressed Red Carpet Appearance Ever: Ishita Arun. How is it that her mother, Ila Arun, has such a strong sense of her own style and the daughter lacks style so completely???
Others who looked nice and deserve a mention are Zeenat Aman, Konkana Sen Sharma, Shruti Seth, Sophia Choudhary, Ness Wadia and Neil Nitin Mukesh.
Others who didn't look so nice and deserve a mention too are Jiah Khan, Preity Zinta, Maria Goretti, Hrithik & Suzanne, Shabana Azmi and Zutshi.
