Hi friends!
A really enjoyable film. I got to see its "pre-premiere" at the Telluride Film Festival this summer. I mentioned it a couple months ago in this post:

Not only is it a fun story, it is a mighty marketing maneuver; India now accounts for over half of world cinema ticket sales! This story is based on an Indian bestseller. Way to go Danny Boyle! I think that this film will be a sensational Pied Piper leading Hollywood into Bollywood. Hollywood can no longer afford to be America-centric. I dare say it's historic.
Keep up this mighty little blog!
