Get used to hearing it everywhere, kids: Freida Pinto.

Are we supposed to get used to hearing "boing-illionaire?" Because I'd like to get used to hearing that.

Rex,

Have you seen the movie, what's your take on it ? .. seems like a regular India song and dance flick to me. Nothing unusual, grappling to understand the buzz about it. Perhaps amidst all the gloom (read economy) the WWW needs a happy flick.

I thought Slumdog was well made, but it was too dark for me. Here's the review on my blog:

Definitely not a typical Bollywood movie with the songs or dance. in fact, major Bollywood figures don't really consider it an Indian film at all...too stereotypical apparently.
