slumdog received many oscars. This is a proud moment for the country with two indians receiving oscars. Rehman has composed many good music but undoubtably this is the great exposure he has got in the west. The first opportunity he has got and grabbed it in both hands. Today, there was even another news saying that the USA's president obama wanted to watch the movie slumdog. Now is that a proud moment for India.
Projecting some country as a poor nation is that good for the country. Most of the artists, actors etc involved in making the movie are from the same country yet, you project to the world only the bad things. Ofcourse, if you do this you get a lot of attention. But such an attention is only good for a short term, on a long run this will certainly have a bad affect.
However, I like the idea of Oscars where they give an award to a foreign movie. Many movies of different countries participate in that and try to win a award. In the entire process the country hosting it makes money and all you give is just an award / recognition. Thats how you attract business to a country. And our country like always falls for it and goes ga ga over it. This time only because its directed by a foreign director got many nomination in different categories and got many oscars. But is that really requried for us. Cant we concentrate on the Indian market. Why is it that filmfare never thought of introducing a foreign film category.
